Concerns are mounting in Pak-occupied-Balochistan’s Kalat region after reportedly, Pak military helicopters conducting prolonged patrols over several areas on Wednesday. The helicopters were seen flying over Gozag, Jhukri, Surani, Nowhgar, and Lagani, adjacent to Koh Nagahi, for approximately an hour before heading towards Sibi.
Local residents have expressed fears of an imminent military operation, citing past experiences where such aerial activity preceded large-scale military actions. Previous operations in these areas have inflicted significant losses on local communities, both in terms of property and livelihood.
Residents said that during these military operations, civilian populations are often caught in the crossfire, with homes damaged and livestock looted by security forces. However, there has been no official statement from military authorities.
