Destruction of Quetta

January 20th, 1656

The Mughal Empire, Region of Balochistan, The city of Quetta

MIRI FORTRESS

At the northern end of the city of Quetta stands a large fortress as high as the city walls.

The fortress, with its doors facing the Safavid Empire, clearly indicated against whom it was built. However, despite its intended purpose of protecting Balochistan from external threats, it ultimately became useless due to internal threats.

Fortunately, the enemy this time does not seem to have enough firepower to destroy the city wall, or else the rulers of the region, the nobles of the Mughal Empire, the Ahmedzai Baloch Dynasty, would lose their precious city Quetta, which is a prized possession and their ancestral land.
