A suicide bomb blast killed 15 people and injured over 30 near a political rally in Quetta, Pakistan. The explosion occurred in the parking area of a stadium where the Balochistan National Party (BNP) held a rally on Tuesday night. Authorities said the bomber failed to reach the main venue due to tight security. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility. The rally was held in memory of Ataullah Mengal, a former Balochistan chief minister. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack, calling it a plot to spread chaos. Survivors described scenes of panic, injuries, and screaming after the blast. (PC: BBC)
