In a decisive response to recent insurgent attacks, Pakistan's military has initiated intelligence-based operations in the southwestern Balochistan province, the country's army disclosed on Friday. The operations come after a series of coordinated assaults by ethnic Baloch insurgents earlier this week, resulting in the deaths of over 50 people.
Targets included both civil and military entities, as the insurgents executed multiple strikes across the region. In a statement, the army confirmed it had retaliated against the militants, successfully neutralizing 21 perpetrators involved in the violence.
This escalation in conflict underscores the ongoing volatility in Balochistan, a region long-marred by ethnic and political tensions. The military's swift action highlights its commitment to restoring stability and security amid the increasing insurgent threats.
