Quetta, November 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
An explosives-laden truck reportedly rammed into a Pakistani Army camp in Balochistan’s Mastung district on Thursday, triggering a massive explosion in which dozens of security personnel are feared to have been killed, according to local media reports.
The incident took place in the Kanak area of Mastung, where the truck was allegedly driven into the main military camp. Citing local sources, The Balochistan Post reported that dozens of personnel, including senior officers, were among those killed. However, the casualties have not been officially confirmed.
The blast was reportedly heard several kilometres away and shattered windows of nearby houses. Security forces cordoned off the area, while military authorities had not issued an official statement on the incident or the reported casualties.
The explosion comes amid a series of attacks targeting Pakistani security forces across Balochistan. Earlier this week, Pakistani forces reportedly faced drone and improvised explosive device (IED) attacks in Mastung and Kalat districts.
Reports said at least two drones struck the main military camp in the Khadkocha area of Mastung on Monday, causing damage and reportedly resulting in casualties. In a separate incident, a security forces vehicle was allegedly destroyed in an IED attack in the Marjan area of Kalat.
Armed fighters also reportedly intercepted and seized two commercial vehicles during a road blockade in the Nokchah area of Chagai district along the Quetta-Taftan highway. One of the vehicles was said to be carrying precious stones. The identities of those behind these incidents remained unclear, and no group had claimed responsibility.
A day earlier, the Baloch Republican Guards (BRG) claimed responsibility for attacks in Kachhi district that allegedly killed five Pakistani security personnel and injured several others.
BRG spokesperson Dostain Baloch claimed that the group’s drone unit, ‘Aamir Aero Guardians’, attacked a joint military and police camp in the Bagh area on November 8, killing one personnel and seriously injuring another.
He further claimed that around two hours later, BRG fighters ambushed a military convoy in the Bolan area using rockets and other heavy weapons. The group claimed four personnel were killed and several others injured, while military vehicles sustained extensive damage, according to The Balochistan Post.
