**Baloch Militants Attack City in Balochistan, Kill Senior Official**

**Islamabad – May 31, 2025** – A senior Pakistani government official was killed yesterday after Baloch militants briefly seized control of Sorab city in the Khuzdar district of Balochistan province.

According to government spokesperson Shahid Rind, militants belonging to the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) stormed the city late Friday, targeting government offices, looting a commercial bank, and setting fire to the residences of government officials. Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Revenue Hidayat Buledi Baloch was killed while attempting to protect state property and lives during the attack.

Rind condemned the attack as a “direct challenge to the writ of the state and a cowardly attempt to destabilise the region.”

Security forces, including the Frontier Corps (FC), police, and Levies, were deployed to the city following the attack and have launched a search and clearance operation.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued a statement strongly condemning the “cowardly attack” and paying tribute to Buledi’s bravery. He reiterated the government’s commitment to eradicating terrorism from the country.
