In a tragic incident in Balochistan's Musa Khel, terrorists intercepted a convoy of vehicles traveling from Pakistan's Punjab, resulting in the deaths of 23 people. Samaa TV reported that the incident occurred in the Rarasham area of the Tingri tehsil, where terrorists offloaded passengers, checked their National Identity Cards (NICs), and executed them on the spot before torching several vehicles.

The incident happened on the national highway, 72 kilometers from the district headquarters in the Union Council of Kingri district, Musakhel. A heavy contingent of Levies and police reached the spot following the attack. According to Balochistan Levies officials, the bodies of the victims are being transported to a hospital.

Similar incidents have occurred in the past, including a deadly attack in April in the Nushki district of Balochistan where twelve people were killed in two separate firing incidents. In one incident, armed assailants targeted a bus traveling from Quetta to Taftan, kidnapping and shooting nine passengers. The attack underscores ongoing security challenges in the region.
