Bolan suicide bombing

On 6 March 2023, a terrorist attack occurred in Bolan, Balochistan province, Pakistan. The attack targeted a van carrying police officers from Sibi back to Quetta, killing at least nine and injuring 13. The attacker, believed to be a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle, rammed into the police van on the Kambri bridge in the area between Sibi and Kachhi districts. A newly formed group, Tehreek-e-Jihad Pakistan, and the Islamic State (which provided a photo of the attacker) claimed responsibility for the attack.

The injured were transported to Sibi Civil Hospital. Bomb disposal squads and security personnel arrived at the site, closing the area off and beginning a search operation. The Balochistan Information Department issued a statement saying that injured officers had been transported to Quetta from Bolan via a government helicopter.

Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo condemned the attack, vowing to make all conspiracies to create unrest and instability in the province unsuccessful with the public's support.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also condemned the incident, promising to rid the country of the menace of terrorism.
