Pakistan's internal crisis over Balochistan has intensified after opposition leaders publicly accused the country's political and military establishment of failing to resolve the province's decades-long conflict. Meanwhile, Pakistan's military claimed that 42 security personnel have been killed in recent militant attacks and once again accused India of backing insurgent groups in Balochistan. 

The Pakistan Army has hit back at former Prime Minister Imran Khan, branding him “mentally ill,” “narcissist,” and a “national security threat.” This comes after Khan reportedly called Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir “mentally unstable” during a tense jail conversation. A stricter ban now awaits him as per reports.
