A drone strike in the Chiltan Mountain range near Quetta, Pakistan, has left at least nine civilians critically injured, sparking outrage and calls for accountability. Witnesses reported that the victims were families enjoying a picnic at Hazarganji-Chiltan National Park, contradicting the military’s claim of targeting “terrorists.” Local residents criticized the operation’s execution in a populated area and emphasized the need for an independent investigation. Following public outcry, the provincial administration imposed an internet blackout, raising concerns over civil liberties and freedom of information in Balochistan. This incident underscores the ongoing tension in the region and highlights the challenges of balancing counter-terrorism efforts with the protection of civilian rights.
