"Pakistan's Tragic Toll: Mourning Streets, Rising Death Toll, and Accusations Against India"

At least 60 people were killed and dozens injured in a suicide bombing during a celebration of Prophet Muhammad's birthday in Quetta, Pakistan. The town of Mastung, where the attack took place, is now engulfed in mourning, with people unable to comprehend such a heinous act at a sacred religious gathering. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has distanced itself from it. The business community in Balochistan province observed a strike to mourn the victims, highlighting the impact of terrorism on business activities in the region. Pakistan's caretaker government has vowed to take revenge for the bloodshed and has announced compensation for the victims, but for the families who lost loved ones, money matters little in the face of their grief.
