"Deadly Attack on Gwadar Port: Pakistan Forces Kill Eight Insurgents"

TL;DR Summary
Eight armed fighters were killed in a foiled attack on the Gwadar Port Authority complex in Pakistan, a key component of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. The attack, claimed by the Balochistan Liberation Army, targeted the offices of Pakistan's intelligence agencies. Gwadar, home to Chinese citizens working on port construction, has been previously targeted by separatist groups. The province of Balochistan, rich in natural resources but economically marginalized, has a history of secessionist movements.
