Balochistan Security

Balochistan has absorbed most of Pakistan's militant violence for years, and the province's security file runs from the roads that link Quetta with Karachi to the police and Frontier Corps posts that guard them. Militants have repeatedly tried to stop traffic on the N-25, abducted police recruits and soldiers, and struck convoys, check posts and installations, while the security forces have answered with intelligence-based operations in Kachhi, Kharan, Kalat, Mastung and elsewhere. This hub follows those attacks and operations, the claims made about them, and the monthly data that tracks the violence.
