Pakistan separatists kill 7 soldiers in border post attack

Separatists belonging to the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) attacked a paramilitary border post in Quetta, Balochistan province, Pakistan, killing seven soldiers and injuring 15 others. The militants engaged in a prolonged exchange of fire with the Frontier Corps Balochistan. The BLA has claimed responsibility for the attack, continuing a pattern of targeting security forces and individuals from other provinces. The group has also targeted energy projects, particularly those with foreign investment, alleging exploitation of Balochistan’s resources. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif denounced the attack and vowed swift action against the perpetrators. This incident follows a previous attack by the same group that resulted in the deaths of 26 people at a railway station.
