Former Afghan Commander Injured, Three Killed in Blast in Pakistan’s Balochistan

Matin Agha, a commander from Afghanistan’s former government, was seriously injured in an explosion in the Koh Taran area of Chagai district, Balochistan province, Pakistan, according to Pakistani media sources. During the incident, two Afghan nationals and one Baloch citizen accompanying him lost their lives.

So far, no further details have been released regarding the nature of the explosion, the exact identities of the victims, or Matin Agha’s current medical condition. Pakistani officials have also not issued any official response. The cause and perpetrator of the explosion remain unclear.

Chagai district in Pakistan’s Balochistan province has witnessed multiple security incidents and explosions in recent years. This event coincides with repeated accusations by the Afghan Taliban administration against Pakistan, alleging support for their opponents and recruitment of several former Afghan government soldiers to counter the Taliban.

It is important to note that some sources close to the Taliban administration claim that former Afghan forces in Balochistan have been recruited for security operations against the Taliban, but Pakistani officials have not officially confirmed these claims.
