67 terrorists killed in Balochistan coordinated attacks
QUETTA: Security forces have killed at least 67 terrorists as more operations are underway after coordinated attacks at multiple locations in Balochistan were foiled, state media reported on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, security sources had said “Fitna-al-Hindustan carried out attacks at 12 locations across Balochistan”, adding that all attacks were foiled due to timely and effective action.
The state-run TV channel said on X that the confirmed number of terrorists killed in operations ongoing since the morning against Fitna al Hindustan has reached 67.
Noting that security forces had killed 41 terrorists in Panjgur and Harnai district’s Shaban area “in the past two days”, the sources said a total of 108 terrorists have been eliminated across the province.
10 police and security personnel embraced martyrdom while “fighting against this brutality”.
The state has designated Balochistan-based terrorist groups as Fitna-al-Hindustan to highlight India’s alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistan.
Meanwhile, “terrorists of the brutal Indian proxy” also killed 11 citizens in Gwadar.
They stated that the deceased included five men, three women and three children. All terrorists involved in the incident were killed.
“Further operations against potential hideouts of terrorist elements in surrounding areas are underway,” the TV report said.
While mobile phone services were working, data services were suspended in Quetta, Sibi and Chaman regions in the wake of the attacks.
In a post on X earlier on Saturday, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti highlighted that security forces had killed 70 terrorists at various locations across the province during just the past two days.
“In the morning, in an attempt to shore up their declining morale, Fitna-al-Hindustan terrorists attempted to carry out attacks at multiple locations, which the courageous police of Balochistan and brave personnel of the FC (Frontier Corps) are jointly thwarting and have killed 37 more terrorists so far.”
“These attacks cannot undermine our resolve against terrorism; we will continue to pursue them until the last terrorist,” CM Bugti added. Monitoring Desk
