Pakistan -- Maritime & Energy
HIGHMilitary clearance operations and structural demolitions continue in the Noshki and Kharan districts (~130-150km from the mine site) as security forces respond to recent insurgent activity Estern Balochistan. The proximity of these operations to the primary logistics corridor indicates a highly volatile security environment in the immediate approaches to Chagai District. The N-25 logistics corridor faces severe interdiction risks following two significant incidents. An IED attack targeted a police armored vehicle in Surab (~280km from mine), killing the driver Estern Balochistan. Further south, BLF insurgents claimed an attack on mineral transport trucks in Wadh, destroying at least one vehicle and explicitly warning against resource extraction Estern Balochistan. The Chaman border crossing (~200km from mine) is completely closed due to a massive escalation in cross-border hostilities involving artillery and airstrikes Dawn. Regionally, Pakistan has launched "Operation Ghazab lil-Haq," conducting extensive airstrikes against Taliban and TTP targets in Afghanistan (>600km from Reko Diq) Dawn.
