UN Security Council Strongly Denounces Terror Attacks in Balochistan
In a statement, the Council said, "The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the heinous and cowardly terrorist attacks across multiple locations in Balochistan province, Pakistan, on 31st January 2026. This reprehensible act of terrorism resulted in the grievous loss of 48 Pakistani nationals, including 31 civilians. Civilian casualties included five women and three children. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for these terrorist attacks."
The Council expressed “deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government and the people of Pakistan” and wished “a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured.”
It reaffirmed that “terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security” and stressed the importance of accountability, calling on all states to cooperate with Pakistan in bringing perpetrators, organizers, financiers, and sponsors to justice in line with international law and relevant Security Council resolutions.
The Council added, “The members of the Security Council reiterated that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed.”
Pakistani security officials reported that 177 militants were killed across Balochistan since Friday. The Balochistan Liberation Army, banned in Pakistan and known for targeting security forces, claimed responsibility for the attacks that also injured several others.
