Balochistan News Updates:
Security agencies in Pakistan have repeatedly uncovered networks linked to India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), particularly in Karachi and other urban centers.
Over the past decade, counter-terrorism operations have exposed sleeper cells and facilitators accused of funding violence, smuggling weapons, and recruiting local operatives.
Karachi’s large population and strategic location have made it a key focus for such infiltration, with arrests involving caches of explosives and evidence of cross-border communication.
Similar crackdowns have occurred in Balochistan and southern Punjab, where operatives allegedly worked to destabilize law and order.
Intelligence coordination, community vigilance, and tighter border controls remain central to Pakistan’s efforts to disrupt these networks and prevent urban terrorism.
Pakistani security agencies and official reports have repeatedly alleged that India’s external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), provides financial and logistical support to militant networks inside Pakistan.
Investigations have pointed to covert funding channels used to aid separatist groups in Balochistan, back violent factions in Karachi, and fuel unrest along the western border.
Authorities cite recovered documents, confessions from arrested operatives, and intercepted communications as evidence of these activities.
