In 1689, the Balochis mounted their first major invasion of Kerman, specifically directed against its eastern town of Khabis. The vizier of Kerman scarcely paid any attention to this event, and tried to his cover up his ineffective reaction by putting the blame on his colleague in Sistan. He deceitfully stated that the Baluchi chieftain Pur Dil Khan and his son had forged a letter that been enlisted as frontier guards of Kerman. The vizier was subsequently replaced with Mohammad Ali Khan.

The following year (1690) Kerman was attacked by Ghilza'i Afghans, who plundered a caraving arriving from Isfahan.
