One civilian was martyred and several vehicles were damaged in terrorist attacks; state authority has been restored.
According to the Pakistan Army’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an Indian-backed act of terrorism was thwarted in the Gwadar district of Balochistan, resulting in the killing of 10 terrorists, including a woman. During the attacks, one civilian was martyred, and several vehicles sustained damage.
According to a statement issued by the ISPR, terrorists sought to hinder the development and prosperity of Balochistan; however, security forces successfully concluded operations at the Gabd border and in Gwadar—without sustaining any casualties—thereby restoring law and order as well as the writ of the state.
The ISPR further stated that the forced involvement of a Baloch woman in the attack constitutes a crime against the state and violates the sanctity of women. The people of Balochistan have consistently rejected those elements who shed blood in their name.
Under the ‘Azm-e-Istehkam’ (Resolve for Stability) initiative, the counter-terrorism campaign will continue at full pace; security agencies remain steadfast in their commitment to eradicating foreign-backed terrorism.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has paid tribute to the security forces for their successful operation against terrorists in Gwadar, commending their professional competence in neutralizing 10 terrorists.
Expressing deep grief and sorrow over the martyrdom of a civilian in the terrorist attack, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that the security forces thwarted the designs of the terrorists in the vicinity of Gwadar and the Gabd border crossing.
Terrorists are enemies of the progress and prosperity of the people of Balochistan. These terrorists—an instrument of mischief—will never succeed in their nefarious intentions. Operations aimed at the complete elimination of terrorism will continue under the ‘Azm-e-Istehkam’ framework. We stand firmly with our security agencies in their mission to eradicate foreign-sponsored terrorism.
