Balochistan has proclaimed its independence from Pakistan, announcing the creation of a new sovereign state.

The Baloch are an Iranian people, divided between Iran and Pakistan. They are known for their armed struggle for independence, with Baloch-inhabited provinces being a constant headache for central governments.

The declaration of Balochistan's independence in the context of the Pakistan-India conflict is an extremely explosive incident. The Baloch have already appealed to India for recognition of their independence, and if they receive this recognition, Pakistan may view it as interference in its internal affairs, further escalating the conflict between the two nuclear powers.

A new country on the world map? Or yet another hotspot?

Pakistan has constructed a hardened, secure, underground complex in Baluchistan Province that could serve as a ballistic missile and nuclear warhead storage site (see figures 1 and 2). The underground complex is near a possible ballistic missile base, first identified in 2016 by Hans Kristensen of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) and Colonel Vinayak Bhat (Ret.), a military intelligence veteran of the Indian Army.1
