Militant Attacks in Balochistan Leave 19 Dead

Baloch Liberation Army Claims Responsibility Amid Rising Security Crisis

Separatist militant attacks in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan region have resulted in at least 15 deaths, including two civilians and four law enforcement agents.
Nine militants, including three suicide bombers, were also killed during the attacks.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group aiming for independence for Balochistan, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
A bomb explosion at an election rally in Baluchistan killed at least four people and injured several others.
The attacks come amid a security crisis in Pakistan, with a significant increase in militant attacks since the Taliban returned to power in neighboring Afghanistan.
