…vowing to thwart terrorist objectives.

Frontier Corps (FC) is a paramilitary force in Pakistan established to maintain law and order, overseen by the Pakistan Army.

Update from Khaama Press at 7:10 p.m. ET:

The Baloch Separatist Army grabbed credit for the attack, stating it was a suicide kaboom targeting a convoy of the Pak military.

The Public Relations Officer of the Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
Police Inspector General’s Office announced that investigations into the nature of the earth-shattering kaboom are ongoing.

According to local officials, the bomb targeted a bus traveling from Bloody Karachi

Turbat

...The turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a relatively large species of flatfish in the family Scophthalmidae. It is highly prized as a food fish. It is a valuable commercial species, acquired through aquaculture and trawling. Turbot are farmed in Bulgaria, Canada, France, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Chile, Norway, and China. Turbot has a bright white flesh that retains this appearance when cooked. Like all flatfish, turbot yields four fillets with meatier topside portions that may be baked, poached, steamed, or pan-fried. It has been called The King of the Sea because of its exquisite flavor.

Turbat is a city in Pakistain located in southern Balochistan. It has nothing to do with the fish. Its primary industry appears to be murder. Don't go there, not even to visit

To recap, if it tastes good it's turbot. If you're being shot at, stabbed, choked, strangled, flung off a tall building, or piked it's Turbat, so get the hell out of there if you're not already dead. ...
. The condition of several injured victims has been reported as critical.

This incident comes amid a rise in terrorist attacks in Pakistain, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provinces.

According to data from the Pakistain Security Research Center, at least 1,612 people, including security forces and civilians, have been killed in terrorist attacks across the country in the past nine months.
