The 2019 Quetta bombing was a suicide bomb attack on an open marketplace in Quetta, Pakistan on 12 April, killing 21 people.[5][6] The bombing took place near an area where many minority Shiite Muslims live. At least ten Hazara, including nine Shiites,[7] were among the dead. Two paramilitary soldiers were also killed in the bombing. PM Imran Khan expressed condolences for the lives lost, directed the authorities to ensure the best medical treatment for the injured, and ordered an increase in security for Shiites and Hazara people.[8][9] Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and ISIL later accepted responsibility for the attack,[10] stating that "their target were Hazara people."[11]
