In the early hours of Wednesday night, terrorists launched a brazen assault on residential quarters near Fish Harbour Jetty in Sarband, Gwadar, unleashing indiscriminate gunfire. The vicious attack claimed the lives of seven individuals who were asleep at the time, while another sustained injuries.

This incident evokes grim memories of a similar tragedy last year when six laborers from Punjab were fatally shot and two others wounded by unidentified armed assailants in the Satelite area of Kech, Turbat.
According to police reports, armed individuals stormed the residence of a local constructor, Naseer, located 120 kilometers east of the Iran border, where they mercilessly attacked the laborers. Six lost their lives on the scene, while two others sustained critical injuries, underscoring the brutality of the assailants' actions.
