At least two people were killed while seven sustained injuries in a bomb blast in Balochistan\u2019s Sibi on Tuesday, police said.<\/p>\n

Sibi Station House Office (SHO) Zakaullah Gujjar confirmed the casualties and injuries to Dawn.com<\/em>. He said the blast occurred at the city\u2019s Jinnah Road.<\/p>\n

The police official said the injured were being moved to Civil Hospital Sibi for medical treatment, adding that the condition of most of them was serious and there were fears of a rise in the deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity forces reached the spot and immediately surrounded it after receiving news of the incident,\u201d he said, adding that the bomb disposal squad was collecting evidence from the crime scene.<\/p>\n

Balochistan Health Secretary Abdullah Khan Noorzai imposed an emergency in all hospitals of Quetta and Sibi in the wake of the incident, according to a statement from the provincial health department.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstructions have been issued to Sibi\u2019s medical superintendent to provide the best healthcare facilities to patients. All doctors and staff are instructed to be present on duty immediately,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

It added that instructions were issued to increase the security of hospitals to tackle any untoward situation and to gather medicines, medical equipment, lab necessities, and ample stock of blood.<\/p>\n

Separately, a clearance operation<\/a> is also under way against militants in Mach. Interim provincial information minister Jan Achakzai earlier said that seven militants were killed after security for\u00adces thwarted three terror attacks in the town last night.<\/p>\n

The incidents come with the February 8 general elections just nine days away.<\/p>\n

According to an annual security report<\/a> issued by the Centre for Research and Security Studies, Pakistan witnessed 1,524 violence-related fatalities and 1,463 injuries from 789 terror attacks and counter-terror operations in 2023 \u2014 marking a record six-year high.<\/p>\n

KP and Balochistan were the primary centres of violence, accounting for over 90 per cent of all fatalities and 84pc of attacks, including incidents of terrorism and security forces operations.<\/p>\n\n
