Intense military clashes rock Zehri tehsil in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, where drone strikes and heavy shelling have led to casualties and widespread destruction. Now in its fourth day, the operation has sparked a serious humanitarian crisis in the Khuzdar district area, with communication blackouts and road blockades making it hard to get reliable updates on the ground.
Local residents in Zehri face growing shortages of fuel and food. Petrol supplies have run dry after three days of a complete lockdown, according to reports from The Balochistan Post. In nearby Kochav, Pakistani forces’ nonstop bombardment has wiped out cotton fields, hitting farmers hard with huge financial losses in this key agricultural spot.
Over in Chashma, artillery and mortar fire have spread fear among villagers, though no confirmed casualties have surfaced there yet. Villages like Dandar and Morenki have also endured heavy shelling, damaging homes and buildings. Authorities are assessing the harm, but an ongoing internet shutdown in Zehri keeps fresh details scarce.
This crackdown targets Baloch pro-independence groups, including the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF). These outfits took control of Zehri back in August, strengthening their hold on parts of Balochistan. Pakistani troops, supported by aerial drones, armored vehicles, and big guns, are pushing to reclaim the area from the armed militants.
With phone lines down and aid blocked, the full toll on civilians remains unclear. Stories of vanishing supplies and mounting panic show how locals are suffering most in this Balochistan conflict, as noted by The Balochistan Post.
The trouble in Zehri underscores the bigger unrest brewing in Balochistan, where resistance groups and Pakistani forces keep clashing. As the blackout drags on, the plight of people there stays hidden, their future hanging in the balance amid the relentless military push. ()
