News Desk

KARACHI: Four injured Pakistani crew members have been flown back to Karachi from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, following a tragic incident where their colleagues were killed by pirates in Somalia.

The repatriation took place on the flight ‘MT Honor 25’, which showcased the emotional scenes of the injured as they prepared to return home.

The attack occurred earlier this week, resulting in the deaths of several Pakistani nationals working in the region.

The injured crew members were seen visibly shaken but relieved to be returning to their homeland. Local authorities have expressed their condolences and are coordinating with the families of the deceased.

This incident raises significant concerns regarding the safety of Pakistani nationals working abroad, particularly in regions plagued by piracy and violence.

The government is under pressure to enhance protective measures for its citizens employed in high-risk areas, as such attacks can have broader implications for international relations and the country’s image.

In the coming days, the government is expected to hold meetings to discuss the safety protocols for overseas workers and may initiate investigations into the circumstances surrounding the attack. Families of the victims are also seeking assistance and support from the government as they navigate this tragic loss.
