RAWALPINDI: At least six terrorists were killed and four others wounded as they tried to launch an attack on a security check post in the Kalat district of Balochistan, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
“On the night of 15/16 November 2024, terrorists attempted to attack a security forces’ post in the general area of Shah-e-Mardan of Kalat District,” the Pakistan Army’s media affairs wing said in a statement on Saturday.
“Own troops fought gallantly, as a result of which six terrorists were sent to hell, while four terrorists were injured.”
The statement added: “However, during the intense exchange of fire, seven brave sons of soil, having fought gallantly, embraced Shahadat.”
It further said that the sanitisation operation was being carried out to eliminate any terrorists found in the area.
Security forces of Pakistan, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging the peace, stability and progress of Balochistan, it said.
“Such sacrifices of our soldiers further strengthen our resolve.”
Saturday’s attack came three days after security forces eliminated at least four terrorists, including a “high-value target” during an intelligence-based operation in the Kech district of Balochistan.
