Mastung: At least two militants and a civilian were killed in an attack targeting government offices in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province, officials reported on Tuesday. The assault also left three militants and seven civilians injured.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the spokesperson for the Balochistan government, Shahid Rind, stated in a press release that security forces managed to eliminate two militants, whom he described as "India-backed," and injured three others following the attack. The incident occurred in the Mastung district and targeted the Tehsil office, government offices, and a bank. Among the casualties was a teenager who lost their life, with seven additional civilians sustaining injuries.
The attack is part of a worrying trend of escalating violence, particularly in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, both of which share a border with Afghanistan.
