2016 Quetta police training college attack
The 2016 Quetta police training college attack occurred on October 24, 2016, when heavily armed militants targeted a police training facility in Quetta, Pakistan. The assault resulted in the deaths of at least 61 individuals, primarily police recruits, and left dozens more injured. This terrorist attack was orchestrated by the militant group Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and represented a significant escalation in violence against security forces in the region. The incident drew widespread condemnation from both national and international communities, prompting discussions about security measures and counter-terrorism strategies in Pakistan and neighboring countries, including India's concerns regarding cross-border terrorism and regional stability.
