Pakistani airstrike kills six Baloch civilians, sparks outrage
At least six Baloch civilians, including children, were killed in an airstrike by the Pakistani Army in Zehri, Balochistan, according to a human rights organization. The attack is part of a broader human rights crisis in the region following weeks of military operations that have resulted in deaths and injuries.
The Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department shared a video of a grieving elder describing how the airstrike killed his entire family. The group condemned the attack, calling it a violation of international humanitarian law. Reports also detail forced disappearances and increased violence in Zehri, with a curfew and military patrols limiting residents’ movement. Human rights groups have urged the international community to act to protect those affected by the ongoing military operations.
