Three students of a military school were killed in a suicide attack on a school bus in the southwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, according to the officials, in the recent attack, which underlines the deteriorating security situation in the region.

The explosion took place in the city of Khuzdar in Province B Belochistan in Belutschistan and, according to Yasir Dashti, a high -ranking government official from the province, aimed at a school bus with “large number” of children of military officers.

38 people were injured in the attack, said Dashti.

“The bus promoted public schoolchildren of the army,” said Kaleem Ullah, a police officer from Khuzdar.

The army public schools are a school network in Pakistan for children of military personnel.

According to an explanation of the Pakistani military, at least three children and two adults were killed.

So far there has been no responsibility for the attack.

Belutschistan has been shaken by a separatist uprising for years that strives for greater political autonomy and economic development in the strategically important and mineral -rich mountain region.

Pakistan's military accused “Indian deputy” in an explanation that was published shortly after the incident. There was no evidence of his claims.

Pakistan previously accused his neighbors and the arch -rival to stand behind attacks in Belutschistan. Neu -Delhi denied the allegations.

CNN contacted the Indian Ministry of Outer Affairs and the Indian Army for reaction.

The Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has “condemned the cowardly attack” in a statement and repeated the military's accusations that India was behind the attack.

India has long accused Pakistan of being protected by militant groups that led attacks across the border, including a cashmere recently administered in India from India, has contested Islamabad.

The tensions between the two spirituals after this massacre and led to a short four -day conflict at the beginning of this month, which was the most continuing battles between the two for decades. Since then, there has been a fragile ceasefire.

The attack on Wednesday comes a little more than two months after the deadly kidnapping of a train by separatist militant in Belutschistan.

In this incident, the Baloch Liberation Army took more than 350 people – some of them security personnel – as hostage and killed 27 of them.

Children were also the goal of some of the most devastating terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

At least 145 people, mainly school children, were killed in 2014 by Pakistani Taliban militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – the worst terrorist attack in the country's history.

The most remarkable goal of the Pakistani Taliban was then the 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who was picked up and shot out on October 9, 2012 when she rode to school with other girls in a van.
