US expresses solidarity after Balochistan attacks, says it stannds ‘steadfast’ with Pakistan

The United States stated its solidarity with Pakistan on Friday, reaffirming its commitment towards the  prosecution of those responsible for the latest militant strikes in the province of Balochistan.

The US State Department’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, in a post on X, stated that they stood “steadfast with Pakistan” after the “horrific” attacks in the aftermath of the blasts.

It was noted in a bureau statement that the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) is still a designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO).

“We support efforts to hold the perpetrators of these horrific attacks accountable,” the SCA added.

This morning, security forces completed "Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1" in the province of Balochistan, where they have successfully killed a total of 216 terrorists, announced the Inter-Services Public Relations department.

The military’s media wing in a statement said the operation was initiated in the wake of a string of coordinated attacks carried out in the province on January 31, which disrupted normal life in certain areas. The military described the raids as intelligence-based operations against Indian-sponsored terrorist elements in the area.
