<p>In Pakistan, four border guards were killed in an explosion at a checkpoint in Baluchistan province.  19 people were injured, <a href="https://www.geo.tv/latest/368848-3-dead-at-least-10-injured-in-quetta-as-blast-rocks-mastung-road" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">informs</a> Geo.tv.  Among the injured are two civilians, three are in critical condition, <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/at-least-3-killed-in-pakistan-suicide-blast-near-afghan-border-police-2530388" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clarifies</a> NDTV.</p>
<p>The attack occurred on the morning of September 5 at a checkpoint in Mastung District, guarded by the Pakistan Frontier Corps.  A suicide bomber riding a motorcycle crashed into a border guard&#8217;s car at a checkpoint, followed by an explosion.</p>
<p>The Tehreek-e Taliban (Pakistani Taliban) group claimed responsibility for the explosion.  The group said the attack targeted Pakistan Frontier Corps personnel.</p>
<p>The resource-rich province of Baluchistan, bordering Afghanistan and Iran, suffers from sectarian violence, attacks by Islamist militants and separatist activities.  Thousands of local residents have died in these conflicts since 2004.</p>
<p>Attacks by the Tehreek-e Taliban have increased in the province in recent weeks.  On 26 August, three members of the Levi paramilitary unit were killed when their vehicle was blown up by a mine in Ziarat County.  Less than a week later, a Pakistani army officer was killed in Gichik district when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle. <a href="https://rus.azattyq.org/a/31444360.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">informs</a> RFE / RL</p>
