Balochistan drone strike kills four civilians in Mastung district

The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has condemned a drone strike by Pakistani forces in the Mastung district of Balochistan, which reportedly killed four workers in an orchard and injured three others. The BYC characterized the incident as “state terrorism” and an escalation of oppression against the Baloch people.

This strike follows a recent report of Pakistani Air Force bombardment in the Surab district’s Gidar area, which allegedly killed more than 30 civilians, including women and children. The BYC stated that the use of military assets like fighter jets and drones against civilians reflects a policy of targeting individuals based on their Baloch identity. In response to these events, the Baloch National Movement (BNM) held a protest rally in the Netherlands.
