A member of the Bugti tribe was killed in a landmine blast in the Sangsila locality of Dera Bugti on Tuesday, while three others from a Bugti sub-tribe were killed in an ambush in Naseerabad district on Monday. Sources said that Ghulam Nabi triggered the blast when he stepped on a landmine, killing him instantly. There has been a surge in violence in Dera Bugti since the killing of tribal chief Nawab Akbar Bugti, although the government claims that the situation has returned to normal in the district. On Monday, three members of the Masori clan of Bugti tribe died in an ambush that injured seven others in Naseerabad district. The assailants escaped. The Masori tribe was forced out of the province by the late Nawab, according to government claims. The government is now sending the tribe back to Balochistan after Bugti's death.
