Multiple explosions and intense gunfire rocked the city of Turbat and Kharan in Pak-occupied- Balochistan province as armed men simultaneously attacked the offices of the country’s intelligence agencies.
Reportedly, five to six powerful blasts near the Degree College Road area of Turbat occurred, where the offices of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) are located. The explosions were followed by intense firing.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the coordinated assaults. Balochistan has experienced a long-running violence and marginalisation by Pak Army and therefore, the demand of independence and autonomy for the resource-rich has increased. These coordinated assaults are a brave act of defiance and resistance against the occupying Pak Army who not only has inflicted havoc on the Baloch community but also has exploited the resources.
