Pakistan’s military says attackers targeted two security posts in southwestern Pakistan, triggering firefights that killed four assailants and a soldier. The first of the two attacks on Wednesday happened in Banjgur, a district in the Baluchistan province. A military statement says soldier died in the exchange of fire there. Hours later, assailants tried to sneak into a security camp in Naushki in Baluchistan, but troops foiled the attempt and killed four attackers. Baluchistan has been the scene of numerous separatists and militant attacks in recent years. Later on Wednesday evening, the newly formed Baluchistan Nationalist Army claimed responsibility for the attacks in a post on Twitter.
