Seven Labourers Abducted From Security Checkpoint Site in Balochistan

The reported kidnapping in Mastung fits a pattern of attacks on non-local workers linked to state projects.

Overview

  • Security sources said the men were taken in the Siyah Posh area of Dasht in Mastung district.
  • The group included five labourers from Sindh and two local workers.
  • The workers were seized while constructing a new security checkpoint in a remote mountainous area.
  • Unidentified gunmen carried out the abduction, and the seven remain untraced two days after the incident.
  • Authorities had issued no formal statement at publication, with past attacks in Balochistan often targeting non-local labourers on government or CPEC-linked projects.
