A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life in a traffic accident on the Rimdan border route.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, July 10, 2025, a Baloch Sukhtbar died after his Toyota Land Cruiser collided with a truck in Dashtyari County.
The identity of the Sukhtbar has been confirmed as Yasin Askani, approximately 24 years old, son of Hamal, and a resident of the village of Murtan in the Rask district.
According to statements from those close to him, Yasin was traveling along the Rimdan border route when a truck veered off course, causing the fatal collision.
He was transported by local residents to a medical center, but succumbed to his injuries due to their severity.
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have been forced to turn to due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturns, and direct gunfire from military and security forces are among the dangers that threaten the lives of these Sukhtbars. According to reports from Baloch activists, in the year 2024, at least 375 Baloch Sukhtbars have been injured or lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires. Of this number, 240 Sukhtbars were killed and 135 were injured, representing a 55% increase in the number of killed and injured Sukhtbars compared to the year 2023.
