Sindh Inspector General of Police Rafat Mukhtar has called for comprehensive security measures to tackle any untoward incident.

“We must ensure security measures at every level,” AFP quotes Mukhtar as saying during a press conference soon after twin blasts hit Balochistan.

The Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, an Islamabad-based think tank, said there had been a “staggering” rise in militant attacks in the past year with an average of 54 per month — the most since 2015, when the army launched a massive crackdown on militant groups.
