Pakistan: Gunmen kill 7 Punjabis in bus attack DW 02/19/2025
Briefly

A tragic incident occurred in Balochistan, Pakistan, where gunmen killed seven bus passengers traveling to Lahore. The attack in Barkhan district involved the assailants first bursting the bus's tires before demanding identification. Those identified as belonging to Punjab were executed. This incident underscores a concerning trend of increased violence against ethnic Punjabis in the region, with a notable rise in targeted attacks as the Balochistan Liberation Army continues its longstanding insurgency against perceived outside oppression and exploitation in resource-rich areas.
The passengers belonging to Punjab province were taken off by the terrorists and killed. They were lined up and shot dead.
Recently, attacks against laborers from Punjab have been on the rise. Last year, militant attacks targeting ethnic Punjabis killed at least 39 people.
