ISLAMABAD, May 21 (Alliance News): The United States has strongly condemned the horrific attack on a school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan, which claimed the lives of innocent children and injured several others. The tragic incident has sparked national grief and international outrage.
In a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Chargé d’Affaires Natalie Baker expressed deep sorrow and solidarity with the victims, saying, “We join Pakistan’s leaders in condemning the brutal, unconscionable attack on a school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan.
The murder of innocent children is beyond comprehension. We grieve with the families who lost loved ones, and our thoughts are with those recovering.”
The attack targeted a vehicle transporting schoolchildren, an act described as utterly inhumane and senseless. Authorities are still investigating the incident, which they believe may be connected to ongoing unrest in the region.
Baker stressed, “No child should ever fear going to school. We stand with those in Pakistan working to end this violence.”
The incident has ignited widespread condemnation across Pakistan. Government officials, civil society members, and international allies have called for justice and enhanced measures to protect students, especially in conflict-prone areas.
The U.S. Embassy’s statement underlines the growing international concern over attacks on educational institutions and children, reaffirming the global community’s commitment to supporting Pakistan in its fight against terrorism and violent extremism.
