Pakistan's Military Strikes Back: Intelligence Operations in Balochistan

Pakistan's military has initiated intelligence-based operations in Balochistan following insurgent attacks that resulted in over 50 deaths. The army has declared that operations will continue until all involved are brought to justice. The attacks, claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army, also threaten the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Pakistan's military has launched intelligence-based operations in Balochistan after insurgent attacks killed over 50 people this week, according to an army statement on Friday.

The operations led to the death of five insurgents and injuries to three others across three incidents. The army vowed to continue its efforts until every perpetrator is brought to justice.

Ethnic Baloch insurgents coordinated a string of attacks earlier this week, with the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claiming responsibility. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif asserted the attacks aimed to destabilize the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), valuing over $65 billion. Beijing has condemned the violence.
