Balochistan: Several abducted during Parod and Mashky military operations

Pakistan FC and military carried simultaneous operations in Mashky and Parod areas of Balochistan on Monday.

According to details local sources reported that from past few days the military had increased number of their troops in surrounding areas of Kalat and Mashky and on Monday morning they started simultaneous operations.

The ground forces were supported by gunship helicopters which bombarded civilian populated areas and destroyed several houses in Khundi, Faqeer, Doni and other areas in Mashky.

The ground also set many houses on fire and seized livestock of poor Baloch people.  Pakistani forces have ordered the Baloch residents to vacate their villages or be prepared for more severe action from the military.

Meanwhile in Parod area of Kalat Pakistan forces abducted dozens of people during a similar military offensive, Balochistan’s local media reported.

Pakistani force robbed the local people off their valuables, cash and other basic necessities of life.

Eye witnesses reported that sudden increase in number of Pakistani troops and bringing in more helicopter could be a sign for preparing more military operations in Kalat, Khuzdar, Noshki and Mashky regions of Balochistan.

It is pertinent to mention that China’s president is expected to visit Pakistan on a two-day tour and local analysts predict that he might also visit Balochistan that is why Pakistan has intensified its military operations in areas closed to Balochistan’s coastal belt.
