Pakistan continues to face severe security challenges as militants intensify their attacks, targeting both security forces and civilians in the volatile Baluchistan region.
In a harrowing incident, 23 passengers were brutally killed in Musa Khel after being forced off buses and singled out based on their identities, while several vehicles were set on fire. The Baluchistan Liberation Army later claimed responsibility for blocking multiple roads across the province.
Meanwhile, in another deadly attack in Kalat, 10 people, including police and Baluchistan Levies personnel, lost their lives during a gun battle that began along the national highway and extended into the city. Security forces responded with a clearance operation, killing 12 militants and injuring several others.
These incidents highlight a growing insurgency by militant groups, who demand greater autonomy and resources and often target security forces and common people alike. The Pakistani government, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has condemned the violence and pledged to step up counterterrorism efforts, yet the unrest persists, leaving citizens fearful and frustrated over the lack of security. As militants continue their violent campaign, Pakistan’s internal security situation remains precarious, with each attack further straining the government’s ability to protect its people from both insurgent and extremist threats.
