Shehbaz Sharif the prime-minister of Pakistan gave green light for a full-scale military operation against separatist forces in south-western parts of the country
The high-level decision came after security committeeʼs meeting in Islamabad about ten days after a tragic incident at Quetta station (where a member of Baloch Liberation Army performed a suicide attack that ended lives of 26 people; most of them were military servicemen)
The counter-terrorism operation targets multiple organizations operating in Balochistan region - a move that shows governments strong stance against recent violent acts in the area. The comprehensive action plan includes various security measures: enhanced surveillance‚ strategic deployments and intelligence-based raids
The decision-making process involved top-level discussions with military leadership‚ focusing on the regions stability and citizenʼs safety. The operation aims to address security challenges in this mineral-rich province‚ where different groups have been active for years
