Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti

In late January and early February 2026, in a series of coordinated attacks across multiple districts in Balochistan, militants of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) engaged in armed assaults and suicide bombings targeting schools, hospitals, banks, markets, security installations, police stations, a high-security prison, and various civilian areas. These attacks occurred as part of an ongoing insurgency in the Balochistan region, in which nationalist and separatist groups are seeking greater autonomy or independence from Pakistan and Iran.
