In Pakistan, at least 47 security personnel were killed and more than 30 others injured in the Baloch Liberation Army’s (BLA) Fidayee unit’s suicide attack on a Pakistani army convoy near Turbat in southern Balochistan on Saturday. 

The target included a convoy of 13 vehicles, including five buses and seven military vehicles, heading from Karachi to the Frontier Corps (FC) headquarters in Turbat. The BLA claimed that one bus was destroyed, others were



partially disabled and one military vehicle was demolished in the blast.

The BLA has accused Pakistani forces of torturing innocent Baloch people, opening fire, and forcibly disappearing many individuals.

However, the authorities have not released any new updates since the statement issued by BLA.
