Armed militants attempted to infiltrate Pakistan’s PNS Siddique Naval Air Base in Balochistan, but security forces thwarted the attack, killing all four terrorists. The militants attacked from multiple directions, but swift action by security forces prevented them from breaching the base. One paramilitary soldier lost his life during the exchange. Despite the intense firefight, no damage to the airbase or aircraft was reported. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attack, part of a series targeting security forces and installations in the region. Balochistan’s insurgency, fueled by grievances against exploitation and marginalization, poses ongoing challenges, particularly targeting Chinese-backed projects like the CPEC.
