In a tragic incident in Balochistan, Pakistan, armed militants killed at least 22 to 23 people after forcing them out of vehicles based on their ethnicity, primarily targeting Punjabi laborers. The attack occurred in the Musakhail district, where the assailants intercepted buses and trucks on a national highway, identifying and shooting individuals from Punjab.
