The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a series of coordinated attacks that resulted in the deaths of 25 Pakistani military personnel.
In response, Pakistani security forces launched intelligence-based operations in Kalat, reporting the deaths of 12 to 21 militants during the ensuing clashes.
This escalation marks the third major assault on security forces in the province within seven days, signaling a significant rise in regional instability.
