Pakistani military operations near Sorab and Gwadar in Balochistan allegedly killed at least 21 civilians, including women and children, according to a News18 report citing intelligence sources; Pakistani authorities have not offered a detailed public accounting.
Communications blackouts in the province have made independent verification of casualty figures nearly impossible, which is convenient for whoever would prefer the numbers stay fuzzy.
In apparent response, the Baloch Liberation Army carried out a wave of coordinated attacks across the province — a bombed police station in Chagai, an ambush and truck hijacking in Yakmach, assaults on convoys along the Khuzdar highway, a checkpoint attack in Manguchar Bazaar, and a strike on a military camp in Jhao.
None of the casualty figures on either side have been independently confirmed, and social media claims have added noise rather than clarity to a province that has spent decades cycling between military crackdown and militant retaliation.
