India has firmly rejected Pakistan's allegations of involvement in the deadly suicide bombing targeting a school bus in Balochistan’s Khuzdar district, calling them "baseless" and an attempt to deflect from its own failings. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the loss of lives.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that it has become "second nature" for Pakistan to blame India for all its internal issues in order to divert attention from its reputation as the "global epicenter" of terrorism and to hide its own gross failings. The MEA emphasized that this attempt to deceive the world is destined to fail.

At least five people, including three children, were killed and several others injured in the suicide attack. Pakistan’s Interior Ministry reported that the bombing was carried out using a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED). While no group has claimed responsibility, Balochistan has experienced continued unrest for nearly two decades, with several armed insurgent groups demanding greater autonomy and control over local resources. These groups have increasingly targeted infrastructure linked to the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Pakistani leaders, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari, condemned the attack and vowed action. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi asserted that those behind the bombing "do not deserve any leniency."
