Pakistan's PM Sharif vows retribution for terrorist attacks DW 08/27/2024
Briefly

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has declared that there is 'no room for weakness' in response to the deadly coordinated attacks on civilians and security forces in Baluchistan, promising a strong retaliation against the separatist militants. He emphasized that these attacks aim to sabotage Pakistan's development, particularly projects relating to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, expressing the need for a unified national stance against such terrorism.
At least 61 fatalities, including 19 soldiers, were reported due to the attacks claimed by the Baluchistan Liberation Army, marking some of the worst violence in the region’s history. The militancy has been fueled by deep-rooted resentment towards foreign involvement, notably from China, which is perceived as taking advantage of Baluchistan's resources without adequate benefits to the local population.
