Pishin (Pashto: پښين, Urdu and Balochi: پشین) or Pshin is a city that serves as the administrative headquarter of the Pishin District of Pakistan's Balochistan province.
During World War II, the British built two airbases in the district; one near the town of Pishin and the other in Saranan.
[citation needed] Pishin is located in the northwest of Balochistan,[5] near the border with Afghanistan.
Pishin's main ethnic groups are Pashtuns who belong to the Tareen, Syed, Kakar, and Achakzai tribes.
In 1883, a major railway and road were constructed to connect towns in Pakistan.
