WorldPakistan faces new frontier against attacks: Balochistan’s Pashtun areas

Attacks have surged since June in Balochistan’s Pashtun-majority districts, which had largely avoided the province’s long-running conflict. The Pakistan Taliban claimed an assault on a customs facility, while the Balochistan Liberation Army claimed a separate ambush. Monitoring data now places Balochistan ahead of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as Pakistan’s most violent province this year.
