Overview
- The attacks, which took place on Sunday, left at least eight people dead and a minor girl wounded in separate incidents in Qila Abdullah and Dera Bugti districts.
- In Qila Abdullah’s Badwan area, unidentified gunmen killed four men and seriously injured a girl identified as Bibi Saniya, with relatives later placing the bodies on the Quetta–Chaman Highway in protest.
- In Dera Bugti’s Drenjan/Sui area, a monetary dispute between relatives escalated into heavy firing that killed four people and injured one, police said.
- Police and Levies reached and cordoned both scenes and have opened probes, but authorities had not confirmed any arrests at the time of reporting.
- The violence reflects a wider pattern of long‑running tribal feuds in Balochistan that fuel cycles of revenge, disrupt key routes and increase pressure on local security and health services.
