Violence escalates in Pakistan's Balochistan as the Pakistan Army launches a fresh operation in Killi Zaik, killing two militants and injuring three others. The operation comes a day after seven were reportedly killed in another Army action in Kharan. The Baloch Liberation Army claims it carried out 22 attacks across Balochistan in eight days, alleging that 26 Pakistani security personnel were killed. The figures come from the BLA and have not been independently verified.

Balochistan is facing a fresh escalation in violence following reports of Pakistani military airstrikes that allegedly killed 21 civilians, including women and children. The reported strikes in and around Sorab and Gwadar have triggered protests and renewed anger, while communication disruptions have made independent verification of casualty figures difficult. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has subsequently claimed a series of coordinated attacks across multiple districts, with reports of strikes targeting security installations, convoys and other infrastructure.
