Terrorist killed, 3 soldiers martyred in Balochistan gun battle: ISPR
2023-05-21
[Dawn] A terrorist was killed and three soldiers were martyred when security forces retaliated to an attack on one of their posts in the Zarghoon area of Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
on Saturday, the military’s media affairs wing said.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the early-morning attack by a group of forces of Evil was launched at a post that was established recently to "help check extortion efforts targeting coal mines in the area".

Security forces "retaliated readily to the fire raid", pushing back terrorists, the ISPR said, adding that three soldiers embraced martyrdom and "one terrorist was sent to hell" in the heavy exchange of fire.

"Based on follow-up ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) effort, the likely hideout of fleeing forces of Evil has been identified in nearby mountains and a deliberate blocking and sanitisation operation has been launched," the ISPR statement read.

It added that the operation was progressing well and security forces were maintaining pressure to deny forces of Evil escape from the area.

Earlier this month, six Pakistain Army soldiers were martyred during an exchange of fire with bully boyz in the Dir Duni area of KP’s North Wazoo district.

In his maiden press briefing last month, ISPR Director General Maj Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that at least 293 people were martyred and 521 were maimed in 436 terrorist incidents over the past year.

In KP, 192 people were martyred in 219 terror activities, while 80 people lost lives in 206 incidents in Balochistan, 14 people in five attacks in Punjab, and seven in six terrorism incidents across Sindh.

He had said that the army and law enforcement agencies carried out 8,269 intelligence-based operations during the previous year in which 1,378 suspected forces of Evil were apprehended and 157 were killed.

The DG ISPR had also said that overall 137 security personnel were martyred and 117 injured in anti-terror operations in the ongoing year.
