Deadly Attacks in Balochistan: Multiple Casualties in Rebel Assaults

At least six fighters from the Balochistan Liberation Army and four security officials were killed in an overnight attack in Balochistan, Pakistan. The rebel group targeted military and security installations in the city of Mach, resulting in a 12-hour gun battle. The attack caused minor damage to a police station and a prison, but no inmates were harmed. The decades-old rebel movement in Balochistan accuses the Pakistani government of neglect and unfair resource distribution. The attack comes amid heightened global attention on Balochistan following an Iranian air strike and a month-long sit-in held by Baloch people in the capital Islamabad.
