Balochistan Operations
At least 10 soldiers from the security forces and four personnel from law enforcement agencies were martyred in Balochistan, while 21 terrorists were killed during clearance operations following a series of militant attacks in the Musa Khel, Kalat, and Lasbela districts on Sunday night.
The military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), released this information on Monday.
According to the ISPR, the terrorists initiated a coordinated series of attacks late Sunday night, which persisted into the early hours of Monday.
These acts of terrorism were described as attempts by hostile forces to disrupt the peace and development in Balochistan, with a particular focus on targeting innocent civilians in the Musa Khel, Kalat, and Lasbela districts.
In one of the most heinous attacks in the Musa Khel district, terrorists intercepted a bus in the Rara Sham area.
They maliciously singled out and killed at least 23 people, most of whom were civilians working in Balochistan to earn their livelihood.
The terrorists also targeted Levies and police stations in Mastung, Kalat, Pasni, and Suntsar, according to reports from the media.
Additionally, there were reports of explosions and grenade attacks in various other regions, including Sibi, Panjgur, Mastung, Turbat, Bela, and Quetta.
The ISPR stated that security forces and law enforcement agencies responded immediately to these attacks, successfully thwarting the terrorists’ plans.
In the ensuing clearance operations, 21 terrorists were killed, ensuring the security and protection of the local population.
However, the operations came at a significant cost, as 14 members of the security forces and law enforcement agencies were martyred after bravely engaging the militants.
The ISPR’s statement also noted that sanitization operations are ongoing in the affected areas. The military is committed to bringing the “instigators, perpetrators, facilitators, and abettors” of these heinous acts to justice.
The statement emphasized that the security forces, in collaboration with the Pakistani nation, are determined to counter any attempts to sabotage the peace, stability, and progress of Balochistan.
The sacrifices of these brave soldiers, the statement added, further strengthen the resolve to maintain and restore peace in the region.
