An IED exploded near the District Headquarters Hospital in Mastung, the main town of Mastung District in Balochistan province, during the early morning hours. The device, hidden on a motorcycle parked outside a mechanic's shop, was remotely detonated via cell phone as a police pickup truck and a school van passed by. The blast killed at least nine people, including five schoolchildren and a police officer, and injured 17 others. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Around 3 a.m. local time, Israel launched airstrikes on what it described as "military targets" in Iran in response to an Iranian ballistic missile attack on October 1. The Israeli military called the strikes "precise" but provided no further details. Explosions were heard in Tehran, with state media reporting that some sounds came from air defenses. This development follows two recent Iranian ballistic missile attacks on Israel amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which escalated after a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The strikes occurred as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken returned from a Middle East tour urging restraint in Israel’s response, especially regarding Iranian nuclear sites.

At least ten Frontier Corps paramilitary personnel were killed, and three were wounded when militants overran an outpost in Draban, a town in the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The attack, claimed by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), marks an escalation in rising militant violence in the country’s northwest, alongside a growing separatist insurgency in the south. The TTP stated the assault was in retaliation for the recent killing of their leader, Ustad Qureshi, who, along with eight others, died in an intelligence-based operation in Bajaur, near the Afghan border. While separate from the Afghan Taliban, the TTP remains allied with them, leading Pakistan to assert that Afghanistan shelters TTP fighters—a claim the Taliban government denies.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed that five people were killed and 22 others wounded in an attack on the headquarters of Turkish Aerospace and Defense Industries (TUSAS) in the Kahramankazan municipality, on the outskirts of Ankara. The minister labeled the incident a terrorist attack but did not provide further details. Local media reported that two assailants, a man and a woman, arrived at the complex gate in a taxi. One of them detonated an explosive, while the other opened fire on security guards. Although no group has claimed responsibility, the involvement of a female attacker suggests that the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) may be behind the attack. In retaliation, the Turkish air forces conducted airstrikes in northern Iraq and northern Syria, destroying 32 PKK targets. The defense ministry stated that many PKK members were killed in the strikes.

A drone launched by the Hizballah terrorist organization from Lebanon hit Prime Minister Netanyahu's private residence in Caesarea. The drone exploded on the bulletproof window of Netanyahu's bedroom but did not penetrate the house itself. The explosion caused minor damage, and there were no casualties. Netanyahu confirmed that he and his wife were not present at the residence during the attack. Israeli forces reportedly intercepted two of the three drones that crossed the border from Lebanon, but the third managed to hit its target. The attack occurred amid continued Hizballah rocket attacks on northern Israel, during which Red alert sirens were activated in multiple areas, including Acre, Nahariyya, Haifa Bay, Tiberias, and the Glilot military base near Tel Aviv.
