**QUETTA, PAKISTAN** – Pakistan is grappling with a wave of coordinated attacks in Balochistan province, raising concerns about internal security amidst rising tensions with India. The attacks, which occurred Friday night, targeted key infrastructure and government buildings in the Kalat district, causing significant damage and casualties.
Unidentified gunmen blocked the Quetta-Karachi highway near Mongochor, setting fire to several government buildings including a NADRA office, a judicial complex, and a National Bank of Pakistan branch. The attackers, who reportedly searched vehicles before fleeing the scene, caused extensive damage before security forces arrived.
A separate attack targeted a Levies checkpost near Kot Langow, resulting in the death of one Levies official, Hak Nawaz Langow. Further violence included an explosion that damaged a bridge on the Quetta-Karachi highway near Rahimabad, and a shooting at a passenger bus in Mastung, injuring six people including a woman and two children.
These attacks come at a time of heightened tension between Pakistan and India, following recent cross-border incidents. While no group has claimed responsibility, the timing of the attacks has fueled speculation about potential links to the ongoing geopolitical climate. Authorities are investigating the incidents and the extent of the damage.
