WASHINGTON: The United States condemned the terrorist attacks in Pakistan’s Balochistan province and pledged support for Islamabad in its fight against terrorism.
In a post on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the State Department’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs stated, “The United States strongly condemns the multiple attacks in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, which claimed many lives. Any violence that disrupts peace and stability is indefensible. We stand with Pakistan in its fight against terrorism and extend our deepest condolences to those who lost loved ones.”
Additionally, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller emphasized in a statement that both security personnel and civilians were targeted in the attacks. “The United States and Pakistan share a common interest in addressing threats to regional security,” he said.
The European Union also condemned the brutal attacks in Balochistan. EU Commission Spokesperson Nabila Massrali wrote on X, “Terrorism and violence in any form have no place. They undermine the foundations of democracy. Our thoughts are with those affected by this senseless act.”
It should be noted that over 70 people, including military soldiers and police personnel, were killed in multiple terrorist attacks in Balochistan on August 26.
