     • Ayesha Shabbir

     • Fatima Shabbir

     • Shahzad Shabbir

3. Levies Personnel Martyred in Khuzdar

   • Four Levies force members were killed in an armed assault on their check post in Khuzdar’s Nasl area.

4. Earlier Attack on PPP MPA’s Convoy

   • A blast targeted PPP MPA Ali Madad Jattak’s convoy in Quetta, leaving 1 dead and 10 injured (Jattak remained unharmed).

5. Balochistan CM’s Strong Statement

   • Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti compared the Baloch insurgency to the Kurdish movement in Türkiye, calling it “India-backed” and driven by self-interest rather than rights.

Security Situation in Balochistan

• Surge in Attacks: Increasing militant activity in Kech, Khuzdar, and Quetta.

• Counterterrorism Operations: Security forces have ramped up operations in response.

• Civilian Impact: Women and children continue to suffer in grenade and bomb attacks.

Balochistan remains a hotspot for militancy, with recent attacks highlighting the persistent threat to security forces and civilians. While the FC and Levies are actively engaging militants, the human cost is rising. The CM’s remarks suggest a hardline stance, framing the insurgency as externally fueled. However, long-term stability will require both military action and political solutions to address grievances. The coming weeks may see further clashes as security forces intensify crackdowns.
