A series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Pakistan's Balochistan province has resulted in over 70 deaths, primarily attributed to the separatist group Baluch Liberation Army (BLA). The violence began with assaults on military camps, police stations, and civilians on highways, particularly targeting those from Punjab, leading to the execution of individuals identified as such. Notably, 23 civilians were killed in Musakhail after being forced from their vehicles, while additional fatalities included 14 soldiers and police in retaliatory clashes. The attacks have disrupted rail traffic and raised concerns regarding the ongoing insurgency in the region, which seeks greater autonomy. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi described the assaults as a calculated attempt to instigate chaos in Pakistan, emphasizing the security forces' response that reportedly resulted in the deaths of several militants. The situation underscores the persistent instability in Balochistan amid a long-standing independence movement.
