One person was injured on Wednesday when unknown armed men launched a grenade attack on the headquarters of the Levies paramilitary force in Mastung district of Pakistan-occupied Balochistan.
Reportedly, unidentified armed men lobbed a powerful hand grenade at the Levies headquarters in Road Tehsil area of Mastung before fleeing the scene. The grenade detonated with an intense blast, leaving at least one person wounded.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the brazen attack. However, Pakistan-occupied-Balochistan has experienced simmering resentment against the Pak Army due to human rights abuses and atrocities committed against the ethnic Baloch community on a regular basis.
The Levies force is a key law enforcement body assisting Pakistan’s regular police and military in killing and harassing the Baloch in the name of maintaining security. The Pak Army has time and again damaged Pak-occupied-Balochistan either directly or with proxies.
