Pakistani railways minister praises security forces over Balochistan operation

Pakistan's Federal Minister for Railways, Muhammad Hanif Abbasi, paid tribute to the country's security forces for what he described as a successful operation against terrorists in Balochistan, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).

Abbasi's comments are part of a series of statements from senior Pakistani officials commending security force activity in the province in recent days, according to APP's reporting, though the report does not provide independent details of the operation, such as its location, scale or casualty figures.

Balochistan, in Pakistan's southwest, has for years experienced recurring violence involving separatist and militant groups, and security operations there frequently draw public statements of support from government figures.
