Given the intensity of the attack and past underreporting trends, the actual death toll is likely between 30 to 45. The attack, which targeted Frontier Corps (FC) forces on the N-40 highway, is part of an escalating insurgency in Balochistan. Pakistani authorities have yet to respond to BLA’s latest claims.
Reports had earlier claimed that at least 12 Pakistani soldiers were killed and over 26 injured after a Frontier Corps (FC) forces bus was ambushed in the Rakshani Mill area of the Regional Corporate Development (RCD) N-40 highway in Noshki, Balochistan.

Pakistan has witnessed a surge in militant activity in recent months, especially in Balochistan. In another attack, a religious scholar and founder of banned group Lashkar-i-Islam, Mufti Munir Shakir, was killed in a bomb blast on Saturday on the outskirts of Peshawar, Pakistan, ARY News reported citing police officials.
The Noshki attack comes just days after the deadly Jaffar Express hijacking, where Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) militants ambushed the train, killing over 25 people.
The Pakistan Army confirmed on March 14, 2025, that 18 of the 26 hostages killed were army and paramilitary personnel, while the remaining victims included three government officials and five civilians.
The militants executed the hostages before security forces launched an operation. Pakistan’s military, along with Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti, condemned the attack, calling it a grave act of terrorism amid rising insurgency in the region.
