As many as two people lost their lives, and twelve others sustained serious injuries during three separate armed clashes in Sindh’s Kandyaro, Shikarpur, and Tangwani regions, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
The first incident occurred in the village of Urs Solangi, located in Kandyaro, where a violent confrontation broke out between the Solangi and Hakro tribes.
One person, later identified as Liaquat Solangi, was killed on the spot. Six others were critically wounded in the clash. The injured were named as Imran Hakro, Jabbar, Ghulam Mohammad, Irfan, Mohammad Hassan, and Sajan.
All the victims were immediately transported to Civil Hospital Kandyaro for treatment.
In another deadly confrontation, members of the Mehar and Jatoi tribes engaged in gunfire in the Lakhi Ghulam Shah tehsil of Shikarpur. Armed individuals reportedly occupied a building before opening fire, resulting in the death of one individual.
A graphic video capturing the violent episode went viral on social media shortly after the incident.
It is pertinent to note that this confrontation is part of a long-standing feud between the Mehar and Jatoi tribes, which has so far claimed at least 32 lives.
Meanwhile, in Tangwani, a land dispute between two factions of the Bhatti tribe sparked another violent episode in the village of Rasoolabad.
Members of both groups attacked each other using bricks and clubs. Responding swiftly to the report, local police arrived at the scene and transported the injured to a nearby hospital. Two of the injured remain in critical condition.
