Baloch Leader Alleges Pakistan Airstrike Killed 30 Civilians, Seeks US Sanctions
Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch accused the Pakistani military of conducting an airstrike in Surab, Balochistan, on August 12 that killed 30 civilians, including women and children, and injured many others. He shared video footage purportedly showing missile debris as evidence and called the attack a war crime. Baloch plans to take the matter to the International Criminal Court and urged the US administration to impose sanctions on Pakistan and halt military support, including F-16 supplies. Pakistan's military spokesperson described the incident as an IED blast, which Baloch disputes.
