Overview
- Security sources reported 22 additional militant fatalities overnight, lifting the three-day tally to about 177 after officials earlier announced 145 killed in roughly 40 hours.
- The offensive struck at least a dozen locations across Quetta, Gwadar, Mastung, Nushki and other towns, with attackers disguised as civilians targeting hospitals, schools, banks and markets; officials say two assaults involved female attackers.
- Confirmed casualties include at least 31 civilians and 17 security personnel, while some outlets cite a combined two-day toll exceeding 190 across militants, civilians and security forces.
- Restrictions persist across the province, with mobile internet cut and train services suspended as security forces continue “sanitisation” raids and manhunts.
- Officials blame external sponsorship for the BLA-led attacks, naming India and referencing Afghan territory, but India and Afghanistan deny the claims.
