Pakistan military says insurgents killed 18 abducted policemen and 11 soldiers in separate attacks
The military said 54 insurgents were also killed as attacks in Balochistan intensified during a weeklong wave of violence.
- On Wednesday, insurgents killed 18 abducted police officers and 11 soldiers in separate attacks in Balochistan, Pakistan, the military reported.
- Violence has intensified across the province since Monday, with the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, maintaining a strong presence alongside other militant groups.
- Military spokesperson Gen. Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry reported the death toll reached 42 since Monday, while security forces killed 54 insurgents in multiple operations.
- Officials attribute the violence to the outlawed Balochistan Liberation Army, or BLA, which the government labels "Fitna al-Khawarij."
- In 2019, the United States designated the BLA a foreign terrorist organization, while Pakistan alleges India supports the group, a claim India denies.
