It is to be noted that Pakistan Para-Military forces carried out an indiscriminate operation in Alamzai village in Gidar region of Soorab town in Balochistan. At least two women and a child were killed and several wounded. Many houses were also damaged due the bombardment and there was reportedly a sense of terror and harassment among the resident of the effect area and surrounding regions.

Many people have been killed in wanton bombardments. They said that target killings and enforced-disappearances are also on rise unabated.
The BRO leaders said military operations and targeting of civilian populace have been the daily routine of the Pakistan’s intelligence agencies. They requested the UN and other International Human Rights Organisations to take notice of the plight of Baloch people. They also appealed the UN to take immediate notice of the ongoing human tragedies in Balochistan and take action against such state atrocities.
