DID Press: Baloch separatist groups reportedly entered the cities of Mastung, Kachhi, and Kharan in Pakistan’s Balochistan province during the Eid al-Fitr holiday, where they addressed local gatherings and publicly criticized Pakistani security forces.
Local sources said the groups briefly took control of certain areas and delivered political messages to residents. The incidents were described as temporary displays of presence rather than sustained territorial control.
Pakistani authorities have not yet issued a comprehensive official response, but security forces are expected to take action to reassert control over the affected locations.
The developments have raised fresh concerns about security and stability in Balochistan, a region that has long faced insurgency and separatist activity.
