Nine people, including eight tribesmen and a young girl, were killed in two separate violent incidents in Balochistan on Sunday, according to officials.
In the first incident in the Killi Badawan area of Qila Abdullah, armed men opened fire on their opponents, resulting in the deaths of four tribesmen and a young girl. The girl succumbed to her injuries after being taken to Quetta for treatment. Police said the attack was linked to an old enmity, with an attacker reportedly stating, “We have taken revenge today.” Following the incident, the aggrieved tribe blocked the Quetta-Chaman highway in protest, but the road was later reopened after negotiations with local officials.
In a separate incident in Dera Bugti, a clash erupted between two rival factions of the Bugti clan over a marriage proposal. A senior police officer reported that armed men from both groups exchanged fire with automatic weapons, leading to four deaths and one injury. Law enforcement personnel were deployed to the area to prevent further violence.
