12 April - 2019 Quetta attack

18 April - gunmen massacred several passengers travelling from Karachi to Gwadar in Makran, Balochistan, Pakistan. An estimated 15 to 20 armed militants stopped around five or six buses between 12:30 am and 1 am on a Makran Coastal Road. After the buses halted the gunmen then inspected the identity papers of the passengers and had about 16 of them disembark. At least 14 were shot dead, while two passengers managed to escape from the gunmen and travelled to the closest Balochistan Levies checkpost. They were later transported to Ormara Hospital for treatment. Law enforcement and Levies personnel arrived at the scene shortly afterward and commenced an investigation into the attack. The victims' bodies were taken from the Noor Baksh Hotel. The Baloch Raaji Aajoi Sangar (BRAS), an alliance of ethnic Baloch militant armed groups, took responsibility for the massacre in an email statement. "... those who were targeted carried cards of the Pakistan Navy and Coast Guards, and they were only killed after they were identified." Raaji Aajoi Sangar, the spokesperson for the Baloch, said in the statement.
