ISLAMABAD: The security forces have eliminated 22 more terrorists, bringing the total number of gunned down militants in Balochistan in the past three days to 177, the security sources said on Monday.
They added that the security forces, intelligence agencies, and police are tightening the noose around terrorists and facilitators.
Noting that the sanitisation operations were underway against the Fitna al-Hindustan terrorists, sources said that there are reports of further casualties and deaths of terrorists and their facilitators.
The latest tally of 177 comes after Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, on Sunday, said that more than 150 militants had been neutralised by the security forces in Balochistan.
The anti-terror operations come as terrorists affiliated with India-sponsored Fitna al-Hindustan carried out multiple attacks targeting civilians in Quetta, Mastung, Nushki, Dalbandin, Kharan, Panjgur, Tump, Gwadar, and Pasni on Saturday.
During the attacks, carried out by the outlawed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), at least 31 civilians and 17 security personnel embraced martyrdom, Balochistan CM Sarfraz Bugti confirmed while speaking on Brackly News programme ‘Naya Pakistan’ a day earlier.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
