PM Shehbaz Flies to Quetta After Deadliest Week of Balochistan Attacks; Vows to Press Military Campaign
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif flew to Quetta with the country's top military leadership on July 9–10 following the deadliest week of militant attacks in Balochistan in recent memory, in which 42 security personnel and civilians were killed in three coordinated incidents. The PM vowed to continue military operations against the BLA and TTP. Dawn's editorial called the response inadequate and said a viable political and dialogue process involving Baloch nationalist stakeholders was essential.
