As Pakistan braces for its upcoming general elections, a series of nine grenade attacks rocked several areas in Balochistan and Quetta, targeting election offices of candidates and polling stations. The incidents occurred on Tuesday, adding to the escalating tensions surrounding the electoral process.

According to reports from Pakistan-based Dawn, the attacks were carried out by individuals riding motorcycles who threw hand grenades at various locations. In one instance, a government school in Killi Ahmedzai, on the outskirts of Quetta, was targeted, resulting in an explosion within the school compound, designated as a polling station.

Law enforcement agencies managed to thwart an attack at a government school in Pasni, where an explosive device was discovered near the premises. The bomb disposal squad successfully defused the bomb, averting a potential tragedy.
