ISLAMABAD -- Members of Pakistani militant groups who attack projects under China's Belt and Road Initiative are being assassinated in growing numbers in Afghanistan by Pakistan security forces.
According to Kiyaa Baloch, a journalist covering insurgency in Pakistan's massive Balochistan province, the intensification of Pakistani military operations against Baloch separatist groups first kicked off in 2004. Many Baloch families have since fled across the border to Afghanistan, where locals regard them as refugees.
