Balochistan Attacks: India Must Watch Pakistan Closely, Remain Vigilant

  • The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) launched coordinated attacks across Pakistan's Balochistan province on January 31, targeting areas from Gwadar to Quetta.
  • The attacks resulted in 17 security personnel, 31 civilians, and 133 BLA insurgents dead, with Pakistani authorities claiming 40 more insurgents killed later.
  • Pakistan's military and political leadership, including Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Balochistan CM Sarfraz Bugti, openly blamed India for instigating and supporting the BLA attacks.
  • Pakistan's National Assembly passed a resolution condemning the attacks and pointing to foreign involvement, specifically India.
  • Despite blaming India, the Pakistan Army may not immediately retaliate with a major terrorist attack due to various factors, but India must remain on high alert.
