[Dawn] Nine Pakistain Army soldiers embraced martyrdom while five bad boyz were potted after security forces retaliated to a "dastardly attack" on the Zhob garrison in northern Balochistan

For differing values of "embrace"
In a statement issued in the morning, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the snuffies launched the attack in the early hours of Wednesday, following which four soldiers were martyred and five others were maimed.

The terrorists’ initial attempt "to sneak into the facility was checked by soldiers on duty", the ISPR said, adding that they were "contained into a small area at the boundary" in the ensuing exchange of fire.

three "heavily armed terrorists" were killed and a clearance operation was initiated to apprehend the remaining two bad boys, the ISPR said.

Later, in an update shared at night, the ISPR said the clearance operation had been completed and in total, five turbans have been sent to hell".

it added, the five soldiers who got critically injured earlier while "fighting gallantly" had gave up the ghost and embraced martyrdom.

"Security forces and the nation remain resilient and determined to thwart all such dastardly attempts of the enemy aimed at destroying the peace of Balochistan and Pakistain," the ISPR statement read.

Earlier today, Zhob District Commissioner (DC) Azeem Kakar had told Dawn.com that a woman civilian was also killed after being caught in the crossfire while five other civilians were left injured. The official added that the severely injured were being referred to Quetta.

DC Kakar said that a passenger bus coming from Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
was also caught in the firing. He added that "nothing can be said about the number of attackers", and asserted that all departments were on alert.

INCREASE IN TERROR ATTACKS
Pakistain has seen an uptick in terror activities, especially in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, after the outlawed TTP ended its ceasefire with the government in November last year.

Earlier this month, four security personnel were martyred while a terrorist was killed after police and Levies checkposts in the Dhana Sar area of Balochistan’s Sherani subdistrict came under attack.

A report released this month by think tank Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies said the first half of the current year witnessed a steady and alarming rise in terror and suicide kabooms, claiming the lives of 389 people across the country.

In June, a police official was martyred and two more were maimed in a suicide attack on a police van in Balochistan’s Turbat.

In an earlier incident the same month, two soldiers were martyred after a security forces’ checkpost in the Kech district along the Pakistain-Iran

In a presser in June, Inter-Services Public Relations Director General Maj Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that the security forces conducted 13,619 intelligence operations this year in which 1,172 bad boyz were potted or arrested.

"On a daily basis, over 77 operations are being carried out by armed forces, police, intelligence agencies, and other law enforcement agencies to rid of the menace of terrorism," he said.

DG Sharif added that 95 soldiers embraced martyrdom in these operations.

Afghan Digest’s Daily Evqcuation Brief adds:

In Balochistan, a night attack on a Pakistani security post in Zhob resulted in the deaths of 9 police and military personnel with another 15 reportedly injured. Two separate terror groups have claimed credit for the incident.
