Balochistan has been in unrest for a long time-
Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan and rich in mineral resources. Its borders are with Afghanistan and Iran. The region has long been a center of separatist violence and terrorist activities. Apart from security forces, foreign investment and infrastructure projects are also often the target of terrorists.

Controversy over cross border terrorism increased again-
There has been a steady increase in terrorist attacks in the border areas of Pakistan in recent months. Pakistan alleges that many terrorist attacks are carried out from the border of Afghanistan. However, the Taliban government of Afghanistan has continuously denied these allegations.

Pakistan has also carried out several air strikes inside the Afghan border in recent months. Islamabad claims that their targets were terrorist hideouts, while the Taliban administration and the United Nations say that a large number of civilians have also lost their lives in these attacks.
