Militant groups obstruct roadway in Pakistan, resulting in the loss of 23 lives.
In the Pakistani province of Balochistan, insurgents have reportedly slain at least 23 individuals and torched ten automobiles. On Sunday night, armed assailants halted traffic on a main road and forcibly removed passengers from vehicles, as reported by the head of the police department, Ayub Achakzai. They scrutinized their identification documents prior to executing them.
The Balochistan Liberation Army, a separatist group, asserted that their combatants specifically targeted military personnel disguised as civilians. However, the Interior Ministry refuted this claim, mentioning that the victims were uninvolved civilians.
For numerous years, separatists have advocated for the independence of the wealth-laden Balochistan from Pakistan. Their acts of violence frequently focus on workers from the Punjab region, whom they accuse of contributing to the region's resource exploitation. Punjab's chief minister, Shehbaz Sharif, voiced his commitment that the security forces would retaliate and apprehend the culprits.
Human beings from various backgrounds have been affected by the ongoing violence in Balochistan. The acts of violence, including the recent incident, have resulted in the loss of numerous human lives.
