Terrorist attacks are happening every day in Pakistan

In October last year, three people were killed and six others were injured in a bomb attack targeting two vehicles in the Kaaboo hill area of Mastung. Terrorist attacks happen every day in Pakistan. Attacks are also carried out due to infighting between terrorist groups. In January this year, there was a blast in a mosque in Quetta in which ten people were killed. At least 20 people were injured in this attack. Four people were killed in an attack in April in the south of Balochistan. More than 15 people were injured in the attack in the busy market.

Balochistan Liberation Army also attacks

Pakistan has long been battling an insurgency by militants in Balochistan, who are demanding a larger share in the province's wealth. Also, Tehreek-e-Taliban is facing attacks from Pakistan, which is also commonly called Pakistani Taliban. A flood of Chinese investment under Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative has heightened tensions in the province, with locals saying it has not benefited them. He has been continuously opposing China and many times also raises the demand for independence from Pakistan.
