On Sunday, a suicide car bomber targeted a convoy of buses carrying security forces in Naushki, Balochistan, Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of at least five officers and injuries to ten others. The critically injured were transported to a nearby hospital. Following the bombing, separatist rebels from the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) opened fire on the buses; authorities responded by killing at least four attackers. This incident follows a recent train hijacking by the BLA, where approximately 400 people were taken hostage, leading to 26 hostage deaths before security forces intervened, killing 33 attackers. The BLA has been demanding independence, citing alleged discrimination by the central government.
