Three separate incidents were reported from Balochistan’s Kech and Mastung districts on Monday, including an attack on a military convoy, an explosion during a route-clearance operation and an assault on a Pakistani forces camp.
In Kech district, a Pakistani military convoy reportedly came under attack near Taloheeg Bazaar in the Balnigwar area. Local sources said armed assailants targeted the convoy near a military camp, leading to exchanges of fire and explosions that continued for more than 20 minutes.
One vehicle was reportedly destroyed after being struck by a rocket. Ambulances were later seen moving towards the area, while drones were observed conducting aerial surveillance. Officials have not released details regarding casualties or damage, and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
In a separate incident in Kech’s Gwarkop area, an explosion reportedly targeted military personnel involved in a route-clearance operation. Sources said members of a bomb disposal unit were carrying out clearance work when an explosive device detonated.
Three personnel were reported to have been caught in the blast, although authorities have not confirmed any casualties or injuries. Helicopter and drone activity was reported in the area after the explosion.
Meanwhile, in Mastung district, a woman was reportedly killed and a child seriously injured after mortar shells struck a residential area in Kardegap. Residents said unidentified armed men had earlier attacked a Pakistani forces camp in the area, triggering an exchange of fire.
Several mortar rounds were later reported to have landed on nearby homes. Officials have not commented on the reported civilian casualties, and the circumstances surrounding the shelling remain unclear.
No organisation has claimed responsibility for any of the incidents. However, “pro-independence” Baloch armed groups have previously carried out attacks targeting Pakistani forces, military convoys and infrastructure in the region.
