Fitna al Hindustan brutally killed six labourers from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in Nasirabad, Turbat.
According to official details, the victims had been kidnapped on July 27, 2026, from the Kalatak, Sorg Bazaar, Degari Kahan area of Kech district. During the attack, another labourer, Javed, a resident of Swabi, was shot dead, while six others were taken hostage.
The martyred labourers were identified as Muhammad Arshad from Lodhran, Muhammad Taimoor, Muhammad Parvez, and Muhammad Wazir from Bahawalpur, as well as Muhammad Amjad from Salala Bazaar and Muhammad Yahya from Swabi.
Officials said the abducted workers were later killed by the Fitna al Hindustan. The victims had been employed on development projects in Balochistan and were contributing to the region’s infrastructure and economic growth.
The killings come just days after five labourers from Punjab were also killed in the Mashkhel area of Balochistan, highlighting growing security concerns for workers involved in development projects across the province.
Authorities condemned the attack, describing it as a terrorist act targeting unarmed civilians and labourers, and reaffirmed their commitment to bringing those responsible to justice.
According to Babar Yousafzai, Media Coordinator for the Balochistan Home Department, the bodies recovered from Nasirabad were those of six abducted labourers. Four of the victims belonged to Punjab, while two were residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Police said seven labourers were kidnapped by unidentified gunmen two days ago from the Kalatak area of Kech district. One of the workers was shot dead immediately after the abduction, while the remaining six were taken away by the assailants.
The bodies of all six abducted labourers were later recovered from the Nasirabad area after they were brutally killed. The deceased were shifted to the Teaching Hospital in Turbat for post-mortem examination.
Earlier, Pakistan security forces launched Operation Al-Azm in Mastung, Balochistan, on Wednesday, killing 15 Fitna Al Hindustan in coordinated air and ground offensives based on credible intelligence, officials said.
According to details, the operation targeted terrorist hideouts through synchronised aerial strikes and ground action, resulting in the elimination of 15 Fitna Al Hindustan while 12 others sustained injuries.
The security operation dealt a significant blow to the terrorist network operating in the area.
Authorities reiterated that security forces remain committed to eliminating all hostile elements and their facilitators, adding that operations against terrorist groups will continue across the region.
