Pakistani police and military forces have killed over 100 "Indian-backed terrorists" in Balochistan, according to government officials. The operations began early Saturday after coordinated attacks killed 33 people, mostly civilians. Sarfraz Bugti, the provincial chief minister, said 145 members of the Baloch Liberation Army were killed. He accused India and Afghanistan of supporting the assailants. The BLA claimed responsibility for the attacks. Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have persisted, with Pakistan accusing Afghan soil of being used for attacks. The BLA is banned in Pakistan and has carried out numerous attacks in recent years.
