The Pakistani government has suspended mobile internet services in Balochistan for at least three weeks due to escalating attacks by separatist groups demanding a share in mineral profits. Recent violence, including a deadly bomb blast that killed three security personnel, has been linked to the Baloch Liberation Army. The decision aims to curb militant coordination. Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest but poorest province, has a long history of conflict with the central government, and incidents of violence remain frequent in the region.
