The ongoing monsoon rain, cloud bursts and flash floods have wrecked havoc across Pakistan, with over 70 per cent of the country severely affected and Balochistan being among the worst hit provinces. Balochistan has lost all means of connection, travel routes and access from the rest of the country.

Railway tracks, internet services and telecommunication services have been disrupted due to the extensive damage caused by torrential rain and flash floods in several areas, including the provincial capital Quetta.

Relief operations to the flood affected areas have become close to impossible as Balochistan's connection via roads, air and train has also been disconnected.

As per the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTI), services have been impacted in Quetta, Ziarat, Khuzdar, Loralai, Pishin, Chaman, Panjgur, Zhob, Qila Saifullah and Qila Abdullah because of damage to optical fibre cables.
