Seven workers were killed in Gwadar port by unidentified gunmen, according to local police.

The bustling city of Karachi was struck by tragedy on Thursday as news spread of a terrorist attack in the port city of Gwadar in the troubled province of Balochistan. At least seven workers lost their lives in the attack, carried out by unidentified gunmen.

According to Mohsin Ali, the Station House Officer at Gwadar Police Station, the gunmen opened fire on a residential area near the Gwadar Fish Harbour in Surbandar. The incident left seven people dead and one injured, as reported by Geo News. It was revealed that the victims were all employees at a barbershop in the area and hailed from the district of Khanewal in Punjab.

The local police have confirmed that the deceased and the injured have been taken to Gwadar Hospital for further examination and treatment. However, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack as of yet.

Sarfraz Bugti, the Chief Minister of Balochistan, has strongly condemned the heinous act and has demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. He has also declared that all necessary measures will be taken to bring the perpetrators and their accomplices to justice.

Meanwhile, Balochistan Home Minister Mir Zia Ullah Langau has ordered a detailed inquiry into the killings, denouncing it as a blatant act of terrorism. He has expressed his determination to take strict action against those responsible for the loss of innocent lives.

This incident has occurred just three weeks after a similar attack in the Nushki district of Balochistan, where 11 people were mercilessly gunned down by unknown assailants. The victims, all from Punjab, were travelling on a bus when they were ambushed and abducted by the militants.

In yet another incident on March 20, security forces successfully thwarted an attempted attack by a group of armed gunmen at the Gwadar Port Authority colony. The swift action by the security personnel helped prevent any casualties and brought the situation under control.

The recent spate of attacks in Balochistan has once again raised concerns about the security situation in the province. The authorities are determined to take strict measures to ensure the safety of the citizens and to bring an end to such cowardly acts of terrorism.
