Balochistan Terrorism Watch

CM Bugti said “tools such as certain Sardars and social media” were being used to “disintegrate” the youth from the state. He expressed the resolve to further boost engagement with the population and the youth.


Responding to a question, he asserted that terrorists were only terrorists and that it upset him when they were called “Baloch terrorists”.

Noting that terrorists blend themselves within the civilian population, the chief minister asked, “Should we become brutal like them?

“We could kill 10 [terrorists] by throwing one mortar, but what about the 20 civilians with them? This is the only reason why we do not want to become brutal like them.”

CM Bugti also took exception to those arguing that the Balochistan “issue cannot be solved with force”. “When has force ever been used in Balochistan?” he asked rhetorically, adding that no military operation was conducted in any city.

“It is a purely intelligence-driven war,” the chief minister stressed, noting that only intelligence-based operations (IBOs) were conducted in the province.

He also accused India’s Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) of backing the terrorist activities, asserting that the authorities had “solid and circumstantial evidence”.
 
“At this moment in time, peace has been established, and the coordinated attack has been repulsed completely, and they (terrorists) have retreated,” Asif said while addressing the media in Sialkot.

The defence minister further said that attempts were made to “target the FC (Frontier Corps) headquarters” in Nushki and Dalbadin, adding that all attacks were foiled.

“They attempted to carry out a suicide attack in Dalbadin,” he said, adding that “all targets have been neutralised”.

Echoing Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s statements, Asif blamed the incidents on neighbouring India, adding that the attacks aimed to “destabilise the country at a time when it is on the path to progress”.

“Our intelligence and the confessional statements by terrorists all prove linkages to India,” the defence minister said.

In August 2025, the US also designated the BLA and its Majeed Brigade squad as foreign terrorist organisations (FTOs).

Besides the US, the British High Commission, Qatar and Saudi Arabia had also condemned the latest terrorist activities.

The interior minister held India responsible for the series of attacks, asserting that the authorities would go after every single one of those involved and the “masters behind them”.

In 2024, the BLA emerged as a key perpetrator of terrorist violence in Pakistan.
 
Naive and layman question. How hard is it to locate “all” hideouts and bases from a technical point of view, Including the UAV, space based assets and other traditional means?
It's not as easy as they make out in Hollywood movies. A lot of such groups gain support from sympathiers in among locals population who provide safe harbour.

Weapons caches are dotted around various caves and hollows in the desert area in Balochistan.

For a mercy it's still bitterly cold in Balochistan so militants tend to hibernate during this time only launching probing attacks - the military are using this lull in activity to target known hotpots of activity which are well documented.

64% of all deaths in Balochistan for 2025 were as a direct result of terrorism incidents.

The orders ban the display or use of weapons, tinted windows, unregistered vehicles, gatherings of five or more people, processions, and face covering.
