Iran-based militants kill 4 Pakistani soldiers in border attack

Four Pakistani border patrol soldiers were killed in an attack by a group operating from Iran, according to the Pakistani army. The Baluch Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group, claimed responsibility for the attack. Baluch nationalist groups have been fighting for a greater share of regional resources for decades. The incident took place in the Kech district in southwestern Baluchistan province, which shares a long lawless border with Afghanistan and Iran.
