SIBI: The social media post circulating online has claimed that a “major attack took place on a military cantonment in Sibi, accompanied by multiple explosions and heavy gunfire.” After thorough verification, this claim has been found to be fake and fabricated.
In this regard, no such incident has occurred in Sibi or its surrounding areas. The area remains peaceful and fully under the control of security forces.
So far, the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) have confirmed that the viral post is baseless and appears to be part of a disinformation campaign aimed at creating panic and spreading unrest.
Furthermore, the investigations reveal that the false news was circulated by social media accounts associated with Bahut Baloch, who is known to be a supporter and facilitator of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
However, the security personnel have focused on ensuring that the situation in Sibi remains stable. In addition, the regular security patrols and intelligence-based operations continue in the province to ensure lasting peace and to eliminate the remnants of militant networks.
The local administration and law enforcement agencies reasserted their commitment to maintaining peace and stability across Balochistan.
This incident mentions the growing challenge of fake news and disinformation campaigns in conflict-sensitive areas.
The claims of an attack on the military cantonment in Sibi are completely false. The region remains under firm control of security forces, and no explosions or exchange of fire have taken place.
