The troubles in the neighboring country Pakistan are not ending.
Now the terrorists have attacked the second largest naval air base there for the second time and have created panic with the sound of bullets and bomb blasts.
According to Balochistan Post, the attack took place at PNS Siddiqui Naval Air Station located in Turbat, Balochistan. Majeed Brigade of the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the attack on the naval airbase in Turbat.
According to Balochistan Post, BLA claims that its fighters have entered the airbase.
In fact, the Majeed Brigade opposes Chinese investment in Balochistan province and has been accusing China and Pakistan of exploiting the resources of that region. BLA has also targeted this base because Chinese drones are deployed at that military base.
The latest attack in Turbat is the second attack by the BLA Majeed Brigade in the week and the third this year. Earlier on January 29, it had targeted Gwadar, where the military intelligence headquarters is located.
After that, on March 20, the second largest naval airbase located at Turbat was attacked. On March 20, at least two Pakistani soldiers and eight militants were killed in a battle that began after multiple explosions and gunfire were reported at Pakistan’s Gwadar Port Authority Complex.
Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement that a group of eight terrorists attempted to enter the Port Authority Colony, but were “successfully foiled” by security forces.
Let us tell you that Gwadar Port is controlled by China and is an important part and important place of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
China is building roads and energy projects worth billions of dollars here. It is also part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) but the people of Balochistan see it as China’s occupation of their resources. Baloch allege that China will benefit from the Chinese projects going on in Gwadar. Local interests are being ignored in this.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan have witnessed a massive increase in terrorist activities after the banned terrorist organization Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ended the ceasefire with the government in November 2022, Dawn reported.
