Balochistan Witnesses Surge in Deadly Insurgent Attacks

In Balochistan, Pakistan, recent terror attacks have resulted in at least eight deaths, 17 injuries, and three abductions. These incidents follow a violent trend of targeting civilians and security personnel. The government has condemned the acts, promising justice and continued efforts to combat insurgency in the region.

In a disturbing surge of violence, Balochistan has witnessed multiple terror attacks resulting in the deaths of at least eight individuals, injuries to 17 others, and the abduction of three people. The province has seen increased militant activity, including bombings and targeted killings.

One significant incident involved a bomb explosion near a police vehicle in Quetta, killing two people and injuring 17. In another attack, insurgents stopped a passenger bus in Gwadar, killing six people from Punjab after checking their ID cards and abducting three passengers.

Authorities suspect ethnic Baloch groups were behind these targeted attacks. High-profile government figures strongly condemned the violence, reiterating their commitment to combat terrorism. Security operations to secure the province, especially in areas with blocked roads and arson incidents, are ongoing.
