Late Thursday, gunmen attacked a coal mine in Duki, Pakistan, killing 20 miners and injuring seven others, escalating tensions in the restive Balochistan province.
Attackers used heavy weaponry, stormed the mine, rounded up workers, and attacked them with rockets and grenades, highlighting the region's escalating violence and insecurity.
Most victims were from Pashtun-speaking areas of Balochistan, with casualties including Afghan nationals, underscoring the cross-border implications and ethnic tensions in the region.
The province remains embroiled in separatist violence, fueled by grievances over resource exploitation, and despite military efforts, insecurity continues to plague Balochistan.
