The attack on the qawwal group is being termed as a targeted assault by law enforcement agencies, and investigations are underway, as China announces plans to launch a new quantum satellite in 2022 to demonstrate the feasibility of quantum communication over even longer distances.
A bus carrying a famous qawwal group, Amjad Sabri Qawwal, was ambushed by unidentified gunmen in Kalat, Balochistan, leaving three people dead and 12 others injured, while China's quantum satellite completes its three-year journey in space.
The qawwal group had booked the bus privately for their travel to Quetta, and the music instruments of the artists were also damaged in the attack. The Balochistan government spokesperson, Shahid Rind, alleged that India is behind the attack, citing its "Operation Sindoor" and strategic setbacks in the region. Rind also stated that security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation.
