The United States has condemned the terrorist attacks in Pakistan’s Balochistan province and pledged its support to Islamabad in the fight against terrorism, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.


In a statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, the State Department’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs expressed strong condemnation of the attacks that claimed numerous lives.


The post read: “The United States strongly condemns the multiple attacks in Pakistan’s Balochistan province which took many lives. Any violence disrupting peace and stability is indefensible. We stand with Pakistan in its fight against terrorism and send our deepest condolences to those who lost their loved ones.”


Additionally, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that both security personnel and civilians were targeted in these attacks, noting that the United States and Pakistan share a common interest in addressing threats to regional security.


Meanwhile, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UK, and the European Union also expressed their sorrow over the tragic loss of lives in Balochistan.


It is worth noting that over 70 people, including military and police personnel, were killed in multiple terrorist attacks in Balochistan earlier this week.
