During the rally, a devastating explosion caused by a suicide bomber claimed the lives of at least 44 innocent people and left nearly 200 others injured in the region bordering Afghanistan.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry stated: "We have learned with deep sorrow that many lives were lost in the explosion that took place during a political rally held today in the north-west of friendly and brotherly Pakistan. We condemn this terrorist attack in strongest terms, wish Allah's mercy upon those who lost their lives in the attack, extend our condolences to their relatives, Government, and people of Pakistan."
In a display of solidarity and support, Türkiye reaffirmed its commitment to stand by its friendly and brotherly ally, Pakistan, in its ongoing fight against terrorism. The joint efforts between the two nations in countering such acts of violence were also emphasized.
The attack has sent shockwaves through the region, prompting global leaders to unite in their condemnation of the senseless violence that claimed the lives of innocent civilians. Investigations into the incident are underway as authorities aim to bring those responsible to justice.
The Pakistani government and people have been grappling with the threat of terrorism for years, and the recent attack serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced in maintaining security and stability in the region.
As the international community mourns the loss of lives and injuries caused by the attack, Türkiye's resolute commitment to supporting Pakistan in its fight against terrorism reflects the importance of standing together in the face of such atrocities. (ILKHA)
