Balochistan Attack Leaves Nine Dead | Global News

Nine police officers are dead and several more missing after a deadly attack at a dam site in Pakistan’s volatile Balochistan province, where gunmen targeted officers on duty — including two high-ranking officials. Security forces are hunting for the perpetrators, while retaliating by killing 15 Taliban militants in the same area. The Interior Minister hailed the slain officers as national heroes, as the dam project aims to solve Quetta’s water crisis. Protests erupted near the national highway, and tensions remain high amid Balochistan’s long-standing unrest and recent drone strikes blamed on Afghanistan’s Taliban.
