BLA Ambush Kills Pakistani Judge in Mastung

On July 23, 2026, a group of suspected BLA insurgents ambushed a judicial convoy in the Mastung district of Balochistan, Pakistan.

The attack resulted in the death of a serving sessions judge and his security gunman, while two others, including an additional sessions judge, were critically wounded.

The attack took place along the Quetta to Mastung route, an area known for its vulnerability to such incidents.

Security forces quickly responded by cordoning off the area and launching a search operation to find the perpetrators.

This incident highlights the deepening security crisis in Balochistan, where daily insurgent operations have compromised law enforcement and state administration.
