Pakistan and BLA Clash in Balochistan
Pakistan's security forces had a big fight with militants in the Balochistan province.
The fighting lasted about 40 hours, and many people were hurt.
The militants, who want more control in the area, attacked many places like hospitals and schools.
The security forces fought back and said they killed 145 militants.
But 17 soldiers and 31 regular people also died.
The Pakistani government said they had warnings about the attacks and were ready.
Some other countries said they were sorry about the violence, but Pakistan and India argued about who was to blame.
The internet and transport were also stopped in some areas, making it hard for people to move around or stay in touch.
The militants also said they had female fighters who fought in the attacks.
Pakistani security forces engaged in 40-hour operations in Balochistan, resulting in 145 militants killed, according to Pakistan, or 84 according to the BLA.
17 security personnel and 31 civilians were killed in the attacks, with the BLA claiming 84 security personnel killed and 18 captured.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks, naming it 'Operation Herof Phase II.'
Attacks targeted hospitals, schools, banks, and markets across multiple districts, including Quetta, Gwadar, and Mastung.
Pakistan's military linked India to the attacks, which India denied, calling the allegations 'baseless.'
