Balochistan under attack: Insurgency spreads, Pakistan on high alert

Balochistan is witnessing a surge in insurgent attacks, putting Pakistan on edge. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) hijacked a passenger train on March 11, killing 26 hostages. Days later, a Pakistan Army convoy was ambushed, leaving 11 soldiers dead. As security is tightened, the government insists no grand operation is needed, while opposition leaders plan protests against the administration.
