On the eve of Pakistan's parliamentary elections, two separate explosions targeted poll candidates in Balochistan, leaving 25 dead and over 40 injured. The first blast struck Pishin district, followed by a second outside the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) office in Killa Saifullah district. No group has claimed responsibility. Balochistan's caretaker minister condemned the attacks as an attempt to destabilize, affirming the election process will proceed unaffected. Despite heightened security measures, the bombings highlight ongoing challenges in the restive region. Pakistan's election commission seeks immediate reports on the incidents, aiming to ensure a peaceful electoral process.
