Pakistani: According to government figures, 205 security personnel and 248 civilians were murdered in Balochistan this year

Pakistani: According to data from the Pakistani government, 2025 was one of the deadliest years for the region in recent memory, with at least 248 civilians and 205 security personnel killed in multiple attacks, bombings, and armed incidents throughout the province. This is in light of the ongoing violence in Balochistan.

According to the Pakistani government’s findings, which were made public by security authorities, there were 432 armed incidents in Balochistan during the year, which resulted in hundreds of deaths among civilians and security personnel. Local media reports that the area continued to be a place of fear and uncertainty.

The Balochistan Post stated, using official numbers, that 284 civilians and 205 security personnel died as a consequence of the violence, despite prior government estimates placing the number of civilian fatalities at 248.

Baloch people’s everyday lives were negatively damaged by this turmoil, which also generated grave worries about the security situation in Balochistan as a whole.

The study claims that in 2025, there were a number of significant assaults in Balochistan, including six suicide bombs in Quetta, Mastung, Khuzdar, Turbat, and Nokundi.

The Jaffer Express in the Bolan region was assaulted and taken over by a militant gang on March 11.

Additionally, separate shooting events targeting passenger coaches between Zhob and Kalat in July were followed by the February 18 murder of seven persons in Barkhan.

In addition, a suicide explosion at Pakistan’s Frontier Corps headquarters in Quetta on September 30 killed 12 people, while a bus assault in Khuzdar on May 15 killed 6 and injured 43.

According to reports, authorities have characterized 2025 as a poor year for Balochistan’s peace and stability, with locals still experiencing ongoing instability.

Concerns about the security lapses have also been voiced by the public, who have urged the Pakistani government to take decisive action to improve public safety.

While local people and civil society organizations generally view official data on law and order in Balochistan with skepticism, critics contend that many instances go unreported and that military authorities reportedly understate the number of security force casualties.

Baloch people have been subjected to many atrocities by Pakistani authorities, who enable death squads in the area to commit extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances, and unlawful detentions.
