In the Panjgur district of Balochistan, an explosion in the Fateh Ali Bazaar area of Gowargo tehsil killed two children, aged nine and ten, and injured three other boys. 

Local reports and sources allege the explosion was caused by an object attached to a quadcopter operated by Pakistani security forces, which detonated after children disturbed a suspicious object hanging from a tree. While local allegations suggest military forces may have directed media to report the event as a hand-grenade blast, the exact nature of the device remains unconfirmed. 

This event follows a pattern of reported civilian casualties involving military drones and quadcopters in the region, including a late September incident in the Kech district and alleged quadcopter attacks in the Mand area.
