Pakistani police and military forces killed over 100 “Indian-backed terrorists” in Balochistan following coordinated attacks that killed 33, mostly civilians. The operations resulted in the highest number of militant deaths in decades, with officials claiming the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) was involved. Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti accused India and Afghanistan of supporting the assailants, while the BLA continues to target security forces and Chinese investments. Tensions have escalated between Pakistan and Afghanistan amid ongoing insurgent activity in the region.
