Over 100 dead in attacks in troubled Balochistan province

Over 100 people have been killed, many of them separatists, in clashes in the restive Balochistan province in southwestern Pakistan in recent days.

Pakistani sources reported that about ten civilians and about ten members of Pakistan's security forces were killed in clashes with rebel groups on Saturday.

In recent days, over 100 separatists have been killed, according to the authorities.

The armed separatist group Balochistan Liberation Army has, as several times before, claimed responsibility for Saturday's coordinated attacks.

Among other things, railway tracks were reportedly destroyed and a prison was attacked, where the group freed prisoners.

The mineral-rich province of Balochistan borders Afghanistan and Iran. The area has been troubled for some time.
