Pakistan: Report says Balochistan witnessed 45 percent rise in terror activities in first six months of 2025
A report published by the Balochistan Home Department has shown that the volatile Pakistani region is witnessing a 45 percent increase in terrorist incidents and a 100 percent increase in targeted killings of local residents in the first six months of the year.
The report states that 257 people, including 133 personnel, were killed in 501 terrorist incidents in Balochistan during the first 6 months of this year, while 492 people, including 238 personnel, were injured.
In another report released by the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances (COIED) states that 125 new cases of enforced disappearances were registered across Pakistan in the first half of 2025.
The reports said 36 of the cases were reported from Balochistan.
However, data compiled by the Baloch Yekjehti Committee (BYC) — a movement working with families of missing persons in Balochistan — paints a starkly different picture — the data claims that 752 individuals were forcibly disappeared in the province in the same period.
Of these, 181 individuals were recovered, 25 were killed, and 546 remain missing.
