The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attacks in various areas of Balochistan, describing them as “heinous and cowardly acts of terrorism.”
In an official statement, the UNSC said the attacks carried out across Balochistan on January 31, 2026, were completely unacceptable.
The Council expressed its deepest condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims, the Governor of Balochistan, and the people of Pakistan, while also wishing a swift and full recovery to those injured.
The statement reiterated that terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations, remains one of the most serious threats to international peace and security.
The Security Council stressed that those responsible for the attacks — including the perpetrators, planners, financiers, and sponsors — must be brought to justice.
The UNSC urged all countries to cooperate fully with Pakistan, in accordance with international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, to ensure effective action against terrorism. It emphasized once again that terrorism cannot and should not be justified under any circumstances or for any reason.
The Council further stated that all states must fulfill their obligations under the United Nations Charter, international human rights law, refugee law, and international humanitarian law while taking measures to combat terrorism.
Earlier, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian also strongly condemned the terrorist attacks in Balochistan, reaffirming China’s unwavering support for Pakistan in its fight against terrorism.
He expressed condolences for those who lost their lives and sympathy for the injured and affected families.
Meanwhile, security sources reported that the number of terrorists killed during ongoing clearance and search operations in Balochistan has risen to 197.
Operations against militants are continuing in Nushki district and other parts of the province. These actions were launched following coordinated terrorist attacks carried out across the province over the weekend.
