The day before, four Frontier Corps (FC) officers were martyred and eight others injured in two separate terrorist attacks in the Quetta and Turbat areas of Balochistan.
Four to five terrorists were killed and seven to eight others injured in the crossfire. Four FC soldiers also received the ordeal and six others were injured in the attack.
“In the second incident, the terrorist drove an FC vehicle with an IED into Turbat,” ISPR said. Two FC soldiers were injured in the explosion. “Such cowardly acts by enemy elements, backed by anti-state forces and enemy hostile intelligence agencies (HIAs), cannot sabotage the hard-won peace and prosperity in Balochistan,” ISPR said.
