According to local media, Pakistani security forces raided a home in the Khuzdar neighbourhood of Balochistan on Thursday night, killing four people and injuring another.
The incident occurred in Khuzdar, a district in southwestern Pakistan that has endured a long-running insurgency by Baloch separatist groups. There were no immediate details about the raid, including the names of those killed and injured.
Local reports said the security forces raided a residential property during the night. It was not immediately clear if the people in the house were suspected of involvement in militant activity or if any weapons or other material were recovered.
Pakistani authorities had not publicly provided details of the reported incident. Balochistan has seen frequent clashes between Pakistani security forces and separatist militants, as well as accusations of enforced disappearances and civilian deaths in security operations. Khuzdar is among the areas engulfed in the larger conflict.
The latest deaths come as security forces continue to carry out operations across Balochistan in an effort to curb militant activity in the resource-rich province. The raid Thursday night could not be independently verified.
