Hanna Urak

Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar reaffirmed the federal government's commitment to addressing Balochistan's economic and development challenges through constitutional means during a meeting with the National Party delegation. Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch, leading the delegation, emphasized cooperation with stakeholders and noted that insurgent groups in Balochistan lack public support, following recent attacks that killed 32 civilians and police.

Policemen killed in Ziarat and Hanna Urak terrorist attacks were buried in their native towns after their funeral prayers at Quetta's Ayub Stadium. A 10-day sit-in by their families ended following an agreement with the provincial government, which accepted demands including a judicial probe and renaming locations in honor of the martyrs.

The Balochistan government and a multi-party alliance reached an agreement with families of police officers killed in Ziarat and Hanna Urak attacks to form a judicial commission. A province-wide strike ended after the sit-in at Quetta’s Koyila Phatak concluded following successful talks.

Balochistan is experiencing a surge in violence with multiple armed groups, including the Balochistan Liberation Army and TTP, conducting attacks. Pakistan's civil and military leadership has pledged to eliminate terrorism, while local elders in Hanna Urak negotiated the release of hostages from an armed group claiming TTP affiliation. The security situation remains unstable despite government claims of progress.

Balochistan has experienced a surge in terrorist violence, resulting in significant casualties among security forces and civilians. The TTP and BLA are identified as responsible for attacks in Ziarat and Bela-Winder, with foreign entities like India and Afghanistan implicated in destabilization efforts.

38 security personnel were killed and 54 terrorists neutralized in three major attacks in Balochistan over four days, as reported by DG ISPR. The incidents involved attacks on police checkposts and local populations, with security forces engaging terrorists in Ziarat district and Hanna Urak. The government-linked group Fitna al-Khawarij, associated with TTP, was identified as the perpetrator.

A violent clash in Hanna Urak, Balochistan, killed three people and injured nine others, prompting a government operation that reportedly killed four suspected terrorists and injured nine policemen. Officials suspect TTP involvement, and the Chief Minister ordered joint checkposts and a committee to address the situation.
