The Turbat firing incident claimed at least six lives after unknown gunmen opened fire on a house in the Buleda area of Balochistan. Police confirmed on Wednesday that a woman was among those killed, while two others suffered injuries in the attack.
Authorities shifted the bodies and the injured to Turbat Hospital to complete legal formalities. Security officials have started an investigation into the Turbat firing incident, but no group has taken responsibility so far.
The Turbat firing incident comes at a time when Balochistan violence continues to worry residents and authorities alike. The province, along with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, remains one of the regions most affected by terrorism in Pakistan.
Last month, the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) carried out coordinated attacks across Balochistan. Militants targeted several cities, including Quetta, Mastung, Nushki, Dalbandin, Kharan, Panjgur, Tump, Gwadar, and Pasni. Those assaults killed 36 civilians, including women and children, and 22 security personnel.
In response to the rising threat, security forces launched major crackdowns. According to an ISPR statement Pakistan, 216 terrorists were eliminated in different encounters and clearance missions under Operation Raddul Fitna 1. The military said operations began in Panjgur and near Harnai after verified intelligence pointed to the presence of militants posing an immediate danger to civilians. During these actions, 41 terrorists linked to foreign-backed networks were killed.
Officials further revealed that 58,778 intelligence-based operations in Balochistan were conducted in 2025, the highest number recorded anywhere in the country. Data also shows that terrorism incidents in Balochistan 2025 reached 1,557 cases last year, highlighting the scale of the challenge.
The Turbat firing incident once again underlines the fragile law and order situation in the province. For many families, fear has become part of daily life as authorities continue efforts to restore peace.
