Khuzdar, Balochistan – May 21, 2025:
In a heinous act of terrorism, a school bus carrying innocent children was ambushed in Khuzdar today, leaving multiple young students martyred and many others critically injured. Security sources have confirmed Indian involvement, stating that the attack was planned in India and carried out through proxy elements in Balochistan.
Among those martyred in this cowardly attack are:
Sania Soomro (Grade 6)
Hafsa Kausar (Grade 7)
Ayesha Saleem (Grade 10)
The children were on their way to school when the bus was targeted. Several injured students have been shifted to local hospitals in critical condition.
According to Pakistani security officials, this act follows India’s diplomatic and strategic failures in the region, prompting a shift towards despicable tactics against unarmed civilians. The attack, they claim, reflects India’s deepening hostility and its deliberate attempts to destabilize Pakistan through terrorism.
Silence of the Islamic World: A Painful Absence
Despite repeated acts of aggression and terrorism against Pakistan, the Islamic world has largely remained silent and inactive. No significant diplomatic, moral, or strategic support has been extended by Muslim-majority countries against these attacks. This silence, in the face of innocent Muslim children being targeted, raises serious questions about the unity and conscience of the Ummah.
> “Where is the voice of the Islamic world when innocent Muslim children are martyred by state-sponsored terrorism?” one security analyst questioned.
“When mosques are attacked, when Pakistani lives are lost — only statements follow, not actions.”
Key Messages:
India continues to use terrorism as a tool of foreign policy, particularly through proxy operations in Balochistan.
Innocent schoolchildren have become the tragic victims of a geopolitical war they have nothing to do with.
Pakistan faces international isolation, even among Muslim nations, in confronting state-sponsored terrorism. 
The global community, especially the Islamic world, must break its silence and recognize the severity of these crimes.
