The bodies of four individuals have been recovered from the Parom area of Panjgur district in Balochistan, according to local sources. The bodies were reportedly transferred to Parom Jaein Hospital, where efforts are ongoing to establish their identities and determine the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Preliminary reports suggest that the bodies were brought to the hospital by Pakistani law-enforcement forces. However, officials have not issued any formal statement confirming the details as to how the bodies reached the hospital.
Two of the deceased have been identified as Marwan, son of Hamza, and Hathim, son of Haji Mohammad. According to local accounts, both individuals had allegedly been subjected to enforced disappearance on April 5 by the Pakistani security forces. For the last 12 days, their families had been visiting different police stations to find out where they had been taken, according to reports in The Balochistan Post.
The identification process for the remaining two individuals is still underway. It is likely that as the news spread about the recovery of bodies, these may get identified as has usually happened so far. The nature of the incident and the causes of death have not yet been officially confirmed. It was also not clear whether all the four bodies were brought in one go or were dumped at the hospital at different times.
In the Kardegap area, two young men, identified as Fazil Khan and Zahir, were reported injured during firing by Pakistani forces near Killi Mangi. They were transported to Civil Hospital Quetta for treatment. Local sources claimed the individuals were unarmed and working in agricultural fields at the time.
Across these areas, communication limitations and the lack of official statements have made it difficult to establish a comprehensive and verified account of events. Such constraints often hinder timely and accurate reporting from remote regions. The situation remains fluid, and further details are expected as more information becomes available.
Meanwhile, Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) fighters attacked a Pakistani military camp in Balochistan’s Jhao and later blocked a key highway in Kharan, the group’s spokesperson has said. BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch said the group’s fighters carried out the attack on a military camp in the Kohadu area of Jhao, claiming several personnel were killed or injured.
He said the assault began with a sniper attack on a soldier guarding the camp, followed by what he described as a coordinated attack using rocket launchers and automatic weapons. “As a result of the operation, the camp sustained severe damage, and several military personnel were killed or injured,” he said.
In a separate operation, the group said its fighters blocked Nourozabad Road in the Sarawan area of Kharan, maintaining control of the highway for several hours and searching vehicles. The BLF warned transporters against cooperating with Pakistani forces, stating that those involved in logistical or personnel support would be “directly targeted”.
“Anyone assisting the enemy in logistics or personnel movement will be directly targeted,” the statement said. The group said it would continue armed attacks against Pakistani forces and their “facilitators” until what it called the “complete independence of Balochistan.”
Ongoing military operations by Pakistani forces, armed clashes, and heightened tensions have have been reported from several districts of Balochistan, including Kharan, Khuzdar, and Mastung. Independent verification of some of the claims remains limited, and authorities have not yet issued detailed official statements regarding the incidents.
In Kharan district, local sources reported that Pakistani military forces launched an operation in the early hours of Thursday in the areas of Almark, Kisan, and surrounding localities. During the operation, a convoy of approximately ten military vehicles was reportedly targeted in an ambush by unidentified armed individuals, leading to an exchange of fire. Witnesses in the area also reported the presence of drones flying overhead during the operation. No official information has been released regarding potential casualties or the outcome of the reported clashes.
Separately, in Khuzdar district’s Zehri area, reports from the previous day indicated that security forces had come under attack involving an initial explosion followed by an armed engagement in the Sohinda locality. Sources suggested that fighting continued for several hours into the night, with drone activity also observed in the area.
Some local accounts further alleged that civilians were attacked by alleged military backed “death squads” and Pakistani military forces during the operations, including reports of shelling and detentions. However, due to communication disruptions and restricted access to the area, these claims could not be independently confirmed.
In Mastung district, particularly in Kardegap tehsil, residents reported hearing multiple explosions and intense gunfire from Thursday morning onwards. Local sources indicated that a large-scale operation by Pakistani military forces is underway, with intermittent clashes reported between personnel and armed individuals.
Authorities have not formally confirmed the nature or scope of the reported operations. However, in response to the situation, the District Health Officer of Mastung announced an emergency across healthcare facilities in the district. Hospitals, including Nawab Ghaus Bakhsh Raisani Memorial Hospital and the District Headquarters Hospital Mastung, were placed on high alert, with medical and paramedical staff instructed to report for duty.
