Pakistan-Afghan Border: Torkham, Chaman & TTP

Region Alert's Pakistan Daily Sitrep assesses the Region Alert Threat Index at CRITICAL as of June 15, 2026. **Mine-Proximate:** The BLA (a Baloch separatist militant group) claimed responsibility for attacks on mineral convoys in Noshki (~352 km from Reko Diq) (June 10, 2026). Barrick continues its extended security review and slowed development pace through mid-2027 (first reported April 7, 2026). The company recently reaffirmed that the overall project remains on track (June 4, 2026). **Supply Routes:** The N-25 and M-8 highways are now closed to mine traffic. Militants destroyed multiple trucks in a convoy attack in Noshki (June 10, 2026). Security forces killed 14 militants during a raid in Khuzdar (~432 km from Reko Diq) (June 7, 2026). Insurgents also sabotaged a bridge in Mastung (~438 km from Reko Diq) (June 9, 2026). **Macro Context:** A severe heatwave continues to affect the country, prompting government warnings (June 9, 2026). Extreme heat increases water demand and slows outdoor work. Meanwhile, a bomb attack in Lakki Marwat (~905 km from Reko Diq) killed several people (June 10, 2026).
