At least six people were killed and 16 injured in separate incidents in Balochistan on Tuesday. Three people were killed and six injured when a speeding pick-up truck overturned on the National Highway near the Mand area of Turbat. Separately, one Ali Muhammad gunned down Gul Mir and Khudai Dost due to an old enmity in the Rukhni area. Police recovered the mutilated body of an unidentified person from the Sanjawi area and sent it to Ziarat Hospital for an autopsy.
Seven people were injured in Mastung, where a petty issue sparked clashes between two groups.
Meanwhile, security forces launched an operation against suspected insurgents in Kohlu and Dera Bugti districts. The operation has been launched after four security officials were killed and dozens injured in a mine blast in the Tarani area. The banned Balochistan Liberation Army on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the killing of four soldiers in the Tarani area of Kohlu district.
Beeberg Baloch, a spokesman for the group, said the mine was planted by the BLA. He claimed that more than a dozen soldiers were killed in the explosion.
