UN Security Council Condemns Militant Attacks in Pakistan, Impacting Regional Stability
The United Nations Security Council has issued a strong condemnation of recent militant attacks in southwestern Pakistan, which have resulted in the deaths of over 50 individuals, primarily civilians. These attacks occurred in the Balochistan province, an area known for its ongoing separatist insurgency led by ethnic Baloch groups. The Pakistani government has been engaged in operations to suppress this insurgency, claiming to have killed 197 militants from the Baloch Liberation Army, which has taken responsibility for recent violent incidents. The Security Council's statement, delivered by President James Kariuki, expressed deep condolences to the victims' families and the Pakistani government, denouncing the attacks as 'heinous and cowardly.'
