Following the attack in Balochistan's Khuzdar region, India firmly rejected Pakistan's "baseless allegations" of Indian involvement.

Responding to the claims, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal expressed condolences for the loss of lives but criticised Pakistan for blaming India for its internal problems.

In a statement, Jaiswal said, "India rejects the baseless allegations made by Pakistan regarding Indian involvement with the incident in Khuzdar earlier today. India condoles the loss of lives in all such incidents."

He added, "It has become second nature for Pakistan to blame India for all its internal issues. This attempt to hoodwink the world is doomed to fail."

Notably, a devastating blast targeted a school bus in Pakistan's southwest Balochistan province, killing at least six people, including four children, and injuring 38 others, Al Jazeera reported, citing an official statement.

In a statement, Pakistan's military condemned the violence and accused "Indian terror proxies" of involvement in the attack. However, the military did not share evidence to support the claim.

Wednesday's attack came days after a car bombing killed four people near a market in Qillah Abdullah, also in Balochistan.
