Fifteen killed in terrorist attacks in Pakistan's Balochistan

The Hindu  

Heavily armed terrorists launched three coordinated attacks, including one on a high-security prison, in Pakistan's restive Balochistan province, leaving four law enforcement personnel and two civilians dead and triggering a gun-battle in which nine of the militants were also killed. A press release issued from the Inter Services Public Relations on January 30 said that on the night between January 29 and 30, “multiple terrorists, including suicide bombers, attacked Mach and Kolpur Complexes in Balochistan, which was effectively responded by law enforcement agencies.” Nine terrorists were killed and three injured and captured by security forces when they tried to apparently penetrate the high-security central Mach Jail where some dangerous militants and death row prisoners are incarcerated. “The situation in the area has been stabilised,” Mr. Achakzai said on social media platform X. Monday night’s attack against security forces is the deadliest by militants this year. The BLA threatened to launch attacks on security forces in Balochistan and elsewhere following Pakistan's January 18 strikes on their camps in Iran that left at least nine persons dead.
