In a wave of coordinated attacks across Pakistan's Balochistan province, at least 33 people have been killed by militants, primarily from the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). The deadliest incident occurred when gunmen stopped vehicles on a major highway in Musakhail, forcibly removing and executing 23 passengers identified as Punjabis, which the BLA claimed were military personnel in civilian clothing. Additional assaults included attacks on police stations and the detonation of explosives on rail lines, resulting in the suspension of rail traffic to the provincial capital, Quetta. BLA also threatened further violence, claiming responsibility for a series of attacks and warning civilians to avoid highways. The Pakistani government has condemned the violence, with officials promising justice for the victims. The attacks highlight the ongoing ethnic insurgency in a region rich in resources yet marked by instability due to separatist movements.
