On the same day, nine bodies of kidnapped bus passengers were recovered in Balochistan’s mountainous region. These victims were abducted on Thursday evening and later found shot dead. The banned Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) claimed responsibility for the killings, accusing the victims of spying for Pakistani intelligence agencies.

A high-level meeting emphasized “holistic action at all levels” to protect national security.
