In Balochistan’s Kech district, Pakistani security forces surrounded Turbat university and conducted a search operation at the women’s hostel, as reported by the Balochistan Post. The operation was reportedly aimed at gathering information about Mahal Baloch, also known as Zilan Kurd, who has been linked to a recent suicide attack by the BLA Majeed Brigade on a Pakistani forces camp in Bela.

Students reported that they were interrogated about Baloch’s role in the attack while the women’s hostel rooms were searched for details about her life.
