Pakistan-Afghan Border: Torkham, Chaman & TTP

Region Alert's Pakistan Daily Sitrep assesses the Region Alert Threat Index at CRITICAL as of June 10, 2026. **Mine-Proximate:** No armed attacks occurred at the mine site itself during this period. However, Barrick Gold executives visited the area to review security plans for the Reko Diq project (2026-06-03). The company continues to slow project development because of regional security risks (published 2026-04-07; event date not known). **Supply Routes:** The main N-25 highway is closed to mine traffic because armed groups blocked the road and burned construction equipment near Hub (~621 km from Reko Diq) (2026-06-04). Militants also attacked trucks carrying minerals from the Saindak project in Mastung (~438 km from Reko Diq) (2026-06-09) and shot at heavy vehicles in Noshki (~352 km from Reko Diq) (2026-06-09). On the southern M-8 route, security forces killed six militants during a raid in Panjgur (~276 km from Reko Diq) (2026-06-05). The Chaman (~443 km from Reko Diq) border crossing remains congested but open to limited traffic. **Macro Context:** Pakistan launched deadly airstrikes against militant camps in Afghanistan, which sharply increased border tensions (2026-06-10). A severe heatwave is affecting the country, straining power and water supplies across the region (2026-05-14). Meanwhile, the government eased licensing rules for foreign companies to encourage investment (2026-06-08).
