Tragic Machh incident
Earlier on Sunday, eleven colliers were killed and four others seriously injured after armed men opened fire at them at the Machh coalfield in Balochistan’s Bolan district.
Police said armed men took the coal miners to nearby mountains where they shot them. At least 11 were confirmed dead and the injured were said to be in critical condition.
Prime Minister Imran Khan had condemned the incident, referring to it as a “cowardly inhumane act of terrorism”.
“The families of the victims will not be left abandoned by the govt,” he vowed.
