Blast reported near Quetta during security clearance operation; casualties unconfirmed

A local report says Pakistani security personnel conducting a clearance operation in the Tera Mile area of Dasht near Quetta were targeted by an explosion. The report, citing local sources, said the personnel were moving on foot when the blast occurred and claimed there were casualties. Authorities had not publicly confirmed the number of people killed or wounded at the time of publication. Responsibility for the blast had also not been reliably attributed to any armed group. The local report did not provide detailed information on the type of explosive, the unit involved or the scale of damage. The incident was reported on September 22, while official details remained limited. Available casualty claims therefore remain attributed to local sources pending further confirmation.
