On 16 February 2019, armed men attacked and killed two Frontier Corps in Loralai.[2] Later on 17 February 2019, another attack took place on Pakistani security personnel in which four members of the Frontier Corps were killed in the Gardab area of Panjgur District.[3].The attack was carried out by the Baloch Raji Ajoi Sangar (BRAS), an alliance of three Balochi terrorist organizations, the Baloch Liberation Army, Balochistan Liberation Front and Baloch Republican Guard.[4][5][6]
These attacks were preceded by the January 2019 Loralai attack in Balochistan in which eight policemen and a civilian were killed by gunmen and suicide bombers affiliated with Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan on 29 January 2019.[7]
The attack happened hours before Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman made his visit to Pakistan.[citation needed]

Jamal Kamal Khan, the Chief Minister of Balochistan, condemned the attack and accused it of being as "a conspiracy against region's development".[3]
