BYC Alleges Drone Strike Killed Four in Balochistan, Officials Call Them Militants
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) alleges that a Pakistani drone strike in Balicha, Tump area of Kech district, Balochistan, killed four young men who had gone for a picnic, including Zubair, a border labourer who had informed authorities of their plans. Pakistani officials describe the deceased as suspected militants. The BYC questions this account, citing a pattern of violence against Baloch civilians and concerns over military operation precision. Two others were reportedly injured in the incident.
