Special military forces pursued and opened fire on several vehicles belonging to Baloch Sukhtbars.
According to Kolbarnews, on the evening of Thursday, November 7, 2024, special forces chased and fired upon several Sukhtbari vehicles in the village of Goran.
As of the time of this report, the identities of the Sukhtbars remain unknown.
Local sources reported that several special forces vehicles pursued and fired on the Sukhtbari vehicles in Goran village and at the Paroud junction.
Sukhtbari is considered an unconventional and hazardous job that many Baluch people in Baluchistan are forced into due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle rollovers, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that Sukhtbars face. According to reports from Baluch activists, in the first six months of 2024, at least 133 Baluch Sukhtbars have died from shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, with another 80 injured in these incidents, including nine children.
