Pakistan forces retake Balochistan town using drones, helicopters as violence toll rises

QUETTA: Pakistan’s security forces used drones and helicopters to wrest control of a southwestern town from separatist insurgents after a three-day ​battle, police said on Wednesday, as the death toll in the weekend’s violence rose to 58. Saturday’s wave of coordinated attacks by the separatist Baloch Liberation Army brought Pakistan’s largest province to a near standstill as security forces exchanged fire with insurgents in more than a dozen places, killing 197 militants.
