On March 16, 2025, a Pakistani military convoy traveling from Quetta to Taftan was attacked near Noshki, Balochistan. Official reports confirm seven soldiers killed and 21 injured, while the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claims 90 military personnel were killed. The assault involved a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED), suspected to be a suicide attack, and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), resulting in the complete destruction of one bus. Army Aviation helicopters evacuated the injured, and drones were deployed for area surveillance. This incident follows a recent BLA hijacking of a train with nearly 440 passengers, highlighting escalating tensions in the region.
