Rocket Attack Targets Girls’ Education Zone in Turbat

A high-intensity rocket attack rocked Turbat, the headquarters of Balochistan’s Kech district, late Tuesday night, March 31, 2026. The strike specifically targeted the vicinity of the Government Girls Degree College, a critical hub for women’s empowerment in Southern Balochistan.

The Strike: UBGL Rocket Near Educational Hub

According to local administration and eyewitness accounts:

• Weaponry: The attack utilized a Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL) or a powerful short-range rocket.
• Impact Site: The rocket landed in a residential and educational zone, just a few hundred meters from the main college building and another government institution.
• Damage: While no casualties were reported, the sheer force of the blast caused structural cracks in nearby walls and buildings. The explosion was heard across several neighborhoods, causing widespread panic.

Security Response: Large-Scale Search Operation

Immediately following the blast, security forces moved to seal off the Kech district headquarters:

• Joint Operation: Teams from the Police, Levies Force, and Frontier Corps (FC) have surrounded the area.
• Door-to-Door Search: Law enforcement agencies are currently conducting house-to-house checks and patrolling the outskirts of Turbat to track the launch point of the rocket.
• Heightened Alert: Security around all educational institutions in the Makran division has been placed on Red Alert.

The Government Girls Degree College Turbat is home to hundreds of female students and is a symbol of regional development. Targeting this site is viewed by experts as a deliberate attempt to:

• Deter Female Education: Undermine the progress of women’s rights in Balochistan.
• Spread Terror: Destabilize the provincial capital of Kech during a period of intense regional tension.
