Gwadar Port caught between Kabul mistrust and BLA guns amid fresh maritime attack

Islamabad’s cross-border operations have deepened mistrust, disrupting trade routes that feed CPEC. With security threats rising from the sea and instability on land, Gwadar’s role as a regional gateway is increasingly at risk.
