Pakistan hits militant targets in Iran days after drone and missile attacks in Balochistan
Iran's attack on a terrorist group's headquarters within Pakistan, the conflict takes a significant turn as Pakistan retaliates. The strikes focus on Baloch separatist factions, namely the Balochistan Liberation Front and the Balochistan Liberation Army, intensifying hostilities.
Expressing strong disapproval, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs deemed the violation of sovereignty «completely unacceptable,» emphasizing the existence of communication channels between the nations.
Iran retaliated with unprecedented missile and drone strikes on alleged bases of the Balochi militant group Jaish al-Adl in Pakistan. This move, claimed as self-defense, resulted in casualties and damaged property in the Panjgur district near the border.
Envoy Blocked Amid Diplomatic Strains
Adding to the complexity, Pakistan takes a diplomatic stance by blocking Iran's envoy from returning to Islamabad post-strike. Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the breach of sovereignty, emphasizing existing communication channels between the two nations.
Unprecedented Strikes on Jaish al-Adl Bases
Iran counters with unprecedented missile and drone strikes, targeting alleged bases of the Balochi militant group Jaish al-Adl in Pakistan. Iran defends these actions as self-defense against a designated terrorist organization responsible for attacks within its borders.
Baloch Liberation Army's Role
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), seeking an independent state of Greater Balochistan, adds another layer to the conflict. Known for targeting Pakistani forces and infrastructure, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the BLA's actions heighten concerns.
