In a series of incidents across Balochistan, three individuals were fatally shot, and twenty others sustained injuries in a road accident.
In the city of Turbat, a local resident, identified as Sanaullah s/o Nusratullah, was fatally shot by unidentified assailants. While the motive behind the shooting remains unclear, local sources allege that Sanaullah had previous affiliations with an armed Baloch “pro-independence” group. He later reportedly surrendered to the Pakistani forces. In the past, similar attacks have been claimed by Baloch “pro-independence” groups; however, no group has yet taken responsibility for this particular attack.
In a separate incident, a woman was shot dead in the Darnali Naal area of Khuzdar. In another similar incident, a robbery in Hub Chowki led to the killing of shopkeeper Gul Muhammad Sheikh. Following the incident, locals managed to apprehend three suspects, who have since been handed over to the police for further investigation.
Meanwhile, in Zhob, a major road accident occurred on the Dera Ismail Khan Drazanda highway. A passenger bus traveling from Quetta to Peshawar collided with a truck loaded with onions due to a brake failure, resulting in twenty injuries, including those of eight children and four women. Seven of the injured individuals are reportedly in critical condition.
