Balochistan has long been plagued by an insurgency and targeted killings. However, security forces have conducted effective operations across the province cracking down on militants in the recent years.
Following the beginning of Operation Raddul Fasaad, security forces intensified intelligence-based and combing operations to establish peace in the province. This has led to a considerable drop in militancy in the province but scattered attacks do take place there at times, and security personnel often seize arms and ammunition dumped in the far-flung areas.
Targeting security forces dedicated to maintaining law and order is outright act of terrorism, says Bilawal
