Pakistan military

The Pakistan military is the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Recent news highlights its involvement in both domestic and international affairs. The military is newsworthy due to reported air strikes in Afghanistan targeting alleged militant camps, resulting in civilian casualties according to Afghan authorities. Domestically, the military conducted raids in Balochistan, claiming to have killed 41 armed fighters linked to India, though evidence was not provided. Furthermore, the military faces accusations of stifling dissent, exemplified by restrictions on jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's access to visitors and communication, allegedly to prevent his messages from reaching the public. These events underscore the Pakistan military's active role in regional security and internal political dynamics, raising concerns about cross-border operations, human rights, and freedom of expression.
