Conflicting accounts emerge from Radig in Mand over armed entry and security clash

Conflicting accounts have emerged from the Radig area of Mand tehsil in Balochistan’s Kech district. One local report said a large number of armed men entered the area, established checkpoints at several locations and attacked a security camp, with heavy gunfire and explosions reported. A separate account citing security sources said Pakistani forces foiled an attempted infiltration and attack near the Pakistan-Iran border in Radig and engaged the armed group in an intense exchange of fire. Neither account provided a clear and independently reconciled casualty picture. The available information also does not establish whether all reported activity formed part of the same clash or occurred at different times. No specific armed group has been reliably established as responsible, and independent information from the area remained limited.
