UN Security Council deadly terrorist strikes in Balochistan

by
UN Security Council

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.

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.

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.

Kashmir was never and will never be India’s, Pakistan tells UN

Pakistan tells UN

Pakistan’s Consul General Gul Qaiser Sarwani has told the United Nations in unequivocal terms that Kashmir has never been, and will never be, part of India.

Speaking at the UN Security Council in response to remarks by the Indian representative, Sarwani said that Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognised disputed territory, whose final status must be determined in accordance with UN resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people.

He accused India of repeatedly committing acts of aggression against Pakistan, stating that New Delhi’s conduct reflects the mindset of a “rogue actor.” Sarwani said India has not only engaged in open hostility but has also been involved in the sponsorship of terrorism.

The Pakistani diplomat said there is evidence that terrorist groups operating under Indian patronage, including Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), have carried out multiple attacks inside Pakistan.

He further stated that India’s repeated acts of aggression against Pakistan constitute clear violations of international law and the UN Charter, and reiterated Pakistan’s demand that India immediately cease state-sponsored terrorism.

Addressing India’s remarks on the Indus Waters Treaty, Sarwani said New Delhi was deliberately distorting facts and misinterpreting an international agreement. He stressed that no provision of the Indus Waters Treaty allows for its unilateral suspension or amendment.

Pakistan, he added, remains committed to the treaty and to the peaceful resolution of all disputes in accordance with international law and UN principles.
