Deadly Attack in Beluchistan
In a tragic incident, 7 passengers traveling to Faisalabad from Ketta on a bus were forcefully taken off the vehicle and shot dead by armed assailants in Beluchistan, Pakistan. The motive behind the murders remains unknown.
An armed group of about 11 individuals intercepted the bus on a highway in the Barkhan region of Beluchistan. After conducting identity checks, the attackers singled out 7 passengers, pulled them off the bus, and mercilessly opened fire, resulting in fatal injuries. Following the attack, the perpetrators fled the scene, prompting the authorities to cordon off the area for investigation.
Beluchistan, situated near the borders of Afghanistan and Iran, has long been a battleground where Pakistan has been combating separatist insurgents demanding greater autonomy and a share of the region's natural resources. The responsibility for the attack has not been claimed, and the motive behind the heinous crime is yet to be determined.
