RIYADH: Saudi Arabia condemned on Tuesday attacks by separatist militants in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan that started late on Sunday.

At least 73 people were killed in Pakistan’s province of Balochistan when separatist militants attacked police stations, railway lines, and highways.

The Kingdom confirmed its rejection of all forms of violence, extremism, and the targeting of civilians. 

It also offered its condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims and to the Pakistani government and people.

Pakistani security forces have been battling sectarian, ethnic, and separatist violence for decades in impoverished Balochistan, but the coordinated attacks that took place in several districts throughout the province were one of the worst in the region’s history.
