“Terrorists attempted to target security forces camps in two sites in Balochistan, Panjgur and Naushki, late this evening,” the statement stated. “Both attacks were successfully defeated while causing serious casualties among terrorists,” the statement continued.
Terrorists attempted to enter the security forces’ camp from two sites in Panjgur, according to the ISPR. Their plan was unsuccessful, however, because forces reacted quickly.
One soldier was martyred during the fierce exchange of fire, according to the ISPR. Terrorists fled while their casualties were being determined, according to the report.
The attacks were the latest in a succession of terrorist attacks in the province in recent weeks. Last week, the ISPR reported that terrorists attacked a checkpoint in the province’s Kech area, killing ten soldiers.
