The ISPR emphasized that the significant losses inflicted upon terrorists reflect the commitment of Pakistan’s security forces to eradicating terrorism. The statement highlighted that recent acts of terrorism aimed to disrupt peace and development in Balochistan. The hostile forces have specifically targeted civilians in Musa Khel, Kalat, and Lasbela districts. These attacks resulted in numerous civilian casualties.

The military condemned the attacks as cowardly and vowed to bring those responsible to justice. The statement asserted that the security forces, alongside the nation, remain resolute in countering any attempts to destabilize Balochistan.

The military’s resolve was reinforced following a series of attacks on Monday, which killed at least 70 people, including security personnel, and left many others injured in Balochistan.

The ISPR concluded by reaffirming the determination of Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies to ensure peace, stability, and progress in the region, despite the heavy sacrifices made.
