The victims included one woman and nine teenagers, while the majority of cases were reported from Kech and Quetta.

Alongside this, 50 killings were recorded across the region. These included 14 individuals who had previously been subjected to enforced disappearance and were later reported killed while in custody. Other fatalities were attributed to a combination of incidents involving shootings and mortar shelling linked to FC personnel, as well as target killings carried out by state-sponsored death squads and unidentified armed actors.

Regarding attribution, Frontier Corps (FC) personnel were linked to 35 cases, followed by intelligence agencies in 19 cases. The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) was involved in 7 cases, death squads in 3, and Rangers in 1 case.

Students represent the most affected group, with 25 cases recorded. They are followed by drivers and shopkeepers (4 cases each), labourers (3), and businessmen (2).
