The organisation said the region is witnessing a military operations against insurgents.

In its X post, HRCP claimed several people, including young children, were killed when a wedding party allegedly came under attack in the region.

" HRCP expresses grave concern over accounts of indiscriminate violence in Zehri, Khuzdar district, Balochistan, where military operations against insurgents are reportedly underway. Several people, including young children, were killed when a wedding party allegedly came under attack. Local sources also indicate that the movement of people has been severely restricted, with several towns now effectively declared no-go areas," HRCP wrote on X.

The HRCP asked the federal and provincial governments to initiate an immediate, transparent and independent inquiry into such incidents causing loss of civilian life. 

HRCP said: "Journalists and neutral observers must also be allowed to visit the affected areas to verify the facts on the ground."

Zehri has been witnessing a continuous military siege since September, when Pakistan launched a large-scale ground and aerial operation to target 'pro-independence' groups.

Local sources told The Balochistan Post that the operations have involved tanks, artillery, drones, and helicopters, resulting in dozens of civilian deaths and widespread destruction.
