BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Government-dominated framing: the coverage relies almost exclusively on the official statement from the Balochistan government, with no independent voices or survivor testimony.

Preference for memorial register: the emphasis on the entire family lost and the martyrs serves to mobilize national emotion rather than analyze responsibility.

Weak coverage of root causes: the article does not address the context of the Baloch insurgency or potentially responsible groups, concentrating the narrative solely on the human toll.
