Deadly Balochistan Attacks Kill Over 60

Militants in Balochistan carried out coordinated attacks on Monday, killing over 60 people, including civilians and security personnel, in one of the region's deadliest incidents. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility, targeting buses, a hotel, and a key railway bridge, which disrupted connectivity with the rest of Pakistan. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif vowed to eliminate terrorism, with Sharif emphasizing the attacks aimed to destabilize Pakistan and its development projects, including those under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Both China and the United States condemned the attacks and reaffirmed their support for Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts. Security forces continue to search for the assailants, but no arrests have been made yet.
