2026 Balochistan attacks
In late January and early February 2026, in a series of coordinated attacks across multiple districts in Balochistan, Baloch insurgents engaged in armed assaults and suicide bombings targeting schools, hospitals, banks, markets, security installations, police stations, a high-security prison, and various civilian areas. These attacks occurred as part of an ongoing insurgency in the Balochistan region, in which nationalist and separatist groups are seeking greater autonomy or independence from Pakistan and Iran.
