Military forces raided the coastal town of Bandar-Kalahi in Minab, triggering chaos and fear among residents. The raid is part of an ongoing crackdown that has deeply traumatized the local community.
According to Kolbarnews, quoting Resanak, a harrowing video released on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, captures the terrified cries and screams of Baloch children during a military raid in Bandar-Kalahi, a coastal town in Minab County, Hormozgan Province.
The video shows children running in fear through alleyways, searching for safety, while the sounds of military vehicles and the destruction of personal property echo around them. According to eyewitnesses and footage verified by Rasanak, heavily armed security forces were seen patrolling residential neighborhoods, allegedly destroying property and causing panic among local families.
This raid marks the continuation of a violent security crackdown that began on Saturday, May 11. Local sources report that hundreds of military and security personnel, backed by senior provincial figures such as Commander Javidan, head of Hormozgan’s police, and Prosecutor Gahramani, stormed the area with heavy equipment, including bulldozers, armored vehicles, firetrucks, and ambulances.
Reports indicate that during the raid, forces demolished the belongings of fuel carriers and fishermen, stormed civilian homes, and even violated the sanctity of a local mosque. Live ammunition and pellet rounds were allegedly used against residents, further escalating tensions and deepening the trauma faced by the local Baloch community.
The emotional toll on the children, as evident in the video, underscores the devastating psychological impact of these military operations on innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
