At least 67 terrorists, including members of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), were killed in ongoing operations across Pakistan’s volatile Balochistan province, officials confirmed on Saturday. In addition, 11 civilians and 10 security personnel lost their lives during the clashes, which took place across multiple districts, including Quetta, Gwadar, Makran, Hub, Chaman, and Naseerabad. Balochistan government spokesman Shahid Rind told Geo News that the total number of rebels killed since Friday night has now risen to 108.
Attacks Target Civilians, Security Forces
Earlier, Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti tweeted that 70 terrorists had been neutralised. Federal Information Minister Ataullah Tarar reported that terrorists in Gwadar had killed a family of five, including three children. The attacks targeted police, paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC), and civilians. Security forces reportedly thwarted several assaults, recovered explosives planted on a railway track in Naseerabad, and continue to pursue fleeing terrorists. Identification of all militants is ongoing to confirm affiliations with the BLA, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), or other insurgent groups.
Terror Incidents Surge Across Pakistan
The surge in violence comes amid an overall increase in terror incidents across Pakistan. According to the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS), Balochistan saw fatalities rise by 22% compared to the previous year, while the Pak Institute for Peace Studies reported a 34% escalation in terror attacks nationwide in 2025, recording 699 incidents. Security forces across Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan have intensified counter-terror operations following the spike in attacks in recent years.
