According to Musakhel, there was also an injured motorcyclist who was struck by gunfire.

A passenger bus traveling from Quetta to Taftan was also halted by the terrorists, said to a Nushki police official. They took nine people whose addresses were in Punjab after looking through the passengers’ CNICs.
