Military forces in Dashtyari County opened fire on Sukhtbari vehicles and arrested one Sukhtbar.
According to Kolbarnews, on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, military forces in Korgut, located near the Rimdan border in Dashtyari County, pursued and fired at Sukhtbari vehicles.
During the incident, one driver was arrested but was released after a few hours.
Although no injuries were reported, one Sukhtbari vehicle suffered significant damage. The vehicle’s tires were shot at, and its cargo was confiscated by military forces.
Sukhtbari considered one of the unconventional and dangerous occupations that many Baloch people in Balochistan are forced to engage in due to the lack of suitable and stable employment opportunities. Accidents, vehicle overturns, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars. According to reports by Baloch activists, in 2024, at least 240 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, while 135 others were injured in these incidents, 19 of whom were children.
