For the first time, Pakistan’s top military officer has publicly acknowledged the Army’s role in the 1999 Kargil War with India. On September 6, Army Chief General Asim Munir admitted that Pakistan lost soldiers in various conflicts, including Kargil, during his Defence Day speech in Rawalpindi. This admission highlights Pakistan’s previously misleading claims about Kashmir and the war. Defense expert Anil Gaur commented that these remarks reveal Pakistan's deceptive narrative and suggested that instead of focusing on competing with India’s military, Pakistan should address the issues facing its own people.

On August 26, 2024, a severe terror attack in Pakistan’s Balochistan province resulted in the deaths of at least 51 people. Separatist militants from the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) orchestrated the assault, targeting vehicles ranging from buses to goods trucks on a major highway. The attackers, who had blocked the highway the previous night, forced passengers off their vehicles and shot them after inspecting their identity cards. In addition to the vehicle attacks, they also targeted police stations and railway lines, setting 35 vehicles ablaze. Pak terror attack has been condemned by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. It follows similar incidents, including one in April 2024 where nine passengers were killed and another in October 2023 where six laborers from Punjab were shot dead in Turbat.
