Deadly Militant Attacks Leave Dozens Dead in Pakistan

Five militants attacked a security post in southwest Pakistan, triggering a shootout that resulted in the deaths of nine soldiers, five attackers, and a female passerby. The newly formed militant group Tehreek-e-Jihad Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack. The clash lasted for hours, leaving several soldiers critically wounded. The gas-rich Baluchistan province, where the attack took place, has been plagued by a low-level insurgency by Baluch nationalists and is also home to Pakistani Taliban and other militant groups.
