The injured were taken to a hospital in Karachi, while Yasir’s body was taken to his home via an Edhi ambulance.
Yasir’s body was handed over to Pakistani authorities at the Taftan border, after which it was handed over to his family. Following the necessary documents, the body was sent to Karachi.
His family members and the families of the injured had reached the Taftan border a day earlier. Representatives of the Balochistan government were also present with the families.
Yasir, a resident of Karachi’s Maripur area, had left for Iran six months ago on a work visa.
He was working on a tugboat at the port of Bandar Abbas in Iran when a missile targeted his boat, resulting in his death.
