Pakistan kills 67 militants in Balochistan attacks
Pakistan had a very scary day with lots of fighting.
Bad guys called the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) attacked many places in Balochistan, a province in Pakistan.
They killed 11 innocent people, including kids, and 10 police officers.
But the good guys, Pakistan's security forces, fought back and killed 67 of the bad guys.
The fighting happened in big cities like Quetta and Gwadar.
The bad guys even kidnapped an important person in Noshki.
The government said they are working to make things better, but the bad guys say the government is not being fair.
It was a very busy and sad day for everyone.
At least 67 militants were killed by Pakistan’s security forces in multiple cities across Balochistan.
The attacks resulted in the deaths of 10 police and security personnel and 11 civilians, including children.
The banned separatist group Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Security forces responded to attacks in urban areas, including Quetta and Gwadar, and killed six militants in Gwadar.
The situation was critical in Noshki after militants abducted the area’s top civil administrator.
