With the residual warmth of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan not yet faded, Pakistan was hit by a sudden attack, and this dangerous incident occurred during the visit of Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister to China. India has become the biggest suspect.

An explosion occurred on a school bus carrying children of military personnel and teachers in Pakistan.

According to reports from The Washington Post and Pakistan Dawn, an explosion occurred on a school bus carrying children of military personnel and teachers in the Huzdar area of Balochistan province in southwestern Pakistan on May 21 local time. As of now, this inhumane attack has resulted in five deaths and multiple injuries.

After the incident, the Pakistani police and other law enforcement agencies quickly arrived at the scene. The injured were urgently sent to the hospital for treatment. The local government immediately declared a state of emergency, and the police also sealed off the incident area to carry out a comprehensive investigation and search operation.

On that day, the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan also made rapid remarks. First, they expressed condolences to the victims, followed by a statement from Pakistan that the attack was "carried out by terrorists supported by India." They have strictly ordered an investigation into the matter and are determined to bring the masterminds to justice.

In addition, the Pakistan Tri-Service Public Relations Bureau also released a message stating that this attack was not accidental but carefully planned by India and executed by agents of India in Balochistan.

However, as of now, facing Pakistan's public accusations, India has not made any response. Nevertheless, Pakistan's suspicions are not baseless.

You should know that the two sides had an air battle not long ago. Although both parties have reached a ceasefire agreement, the defeated India will not easily give up so easily, and there is indeed such a motive for committing the crime.

Pakistan's Prime Minister

It is worth mentioning that the victims of this attack were children of military personnel and teachers in Pakistan. The specificity and targeting of the target are self-evident.

In addition, the location of the attack was unusual. The Huzdar area is strategically critical. It is not only a must-pass point for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor but also contains key strategic resources.

Meanwhile, it is also the location of the Gwadar Port, which controls a large amount of oil transportation and plays an important role in international energy transportation.

However, India has long opposed the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Attacking the Huzdar region may also be motivated by an attempt to use terrorist means to sabotage this strategic project.

It is noteworthy that on the day of the incident, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Dar was visiting China. Our Foreign Minister Wang Yi also clearly stated that China welcomes and supports both India and Pakistan resolving differences through dialogue and achieving comprehensive and lasting ceasefire.

Now, Pakistan has suddenly been attacked, and Pakistan has already pointed the finger at India. This is like a heavy hammer, pushing the South Asian situation, which had just seen the dawn of peace, back to the edge of tension once again.

The mastermind chose to act during the visit of high-ranking officials of Pakistan to China, and their intentions are obvious. Not only did they want to disrupt the domestic situation of Pakistan, but they also tried to interfere with the strategic cooperation process between China and Pakistan.

Of course, before solid evidence emerges, any conclusion can only be based on existing clues. In addition to the grievances between India and Pakistan, the possibility of local separatist forces in Balochistan, transnational extremist organizations, or even third-party forces getting involved exists.

However, this attack also reveals the fragility of the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. Although both sides have suspended direct military conflicts, proxy wars, intelligence confrontations, and propaganda battles may never stop.

This school bus explosion case is not only a provocation against Pakistan but also an open challenge to the international anti-terrorism order.

In short, when will India break its silence and respond to this incident? Can Pakistan find solid evidence and uncover the truth of the incident? Time is needed. No matter what, regional peace and stability are the common expectations of the people, but no force should be allowed to act recklessly.
