A Baloch sukhtbar was injured due to a military shooting on the Khash-Saravan road.
According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, June 3, 2024, Morsad military forces in Shamsabad, on the Khash-Saravan route, fired at a sukhtbari vehicle without prior warning or a stop signal. This led to the vehicle overturning and catching fire, injuring a Baloch sukhtbar.
As of the time of this report, the identity of the sukhtbar remains unknown.
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have resorted to out of lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturning, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars in this profession. According to reports from Baloch activists in 2023, at least 172 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, and 42 others were injured in these incidents, including 11 children
