A Pakistan Army major was killed in an improvised explosive device attack in Gwadar district, while security forces killed four militants in a separate operation in Kalat district, the military said Monday.
The Inter-Services Public Relations said 34-year-old Major Wajahat Waheed of Lahore was leading clearance operations in the Shadi Kaur area of Pasni when an IED struck his unit. The operation followed intelligence reports of militant hideouts in Shadi Kaur and Jattakabad.
In Jattakabad on October 18, troops raided a suspected hideout and killed four militants after an exchange of fire, according to ISPR. A large cache of weapons and ammunition was recovered. The military said clearance operations remained underway in Shadi Kaur.
The incidents followed several reported counterterrorism operations across Balochistan. ISPR said eight militants were killed on October 17 in separate actions in Quetta, Nushki and Khuzdar, where forces also recovered 490 kilograms of explosives. It earlier reported five militants killed during an October 12-13 operation in Washuk. Provincial officials said the Counter-Terrorism Department killed 10 militants in Barkhan, where two officers were wounded.
In a separate attack Saturday, unidentified gunmen killed two police head constables near Bedar Bridge in Nasirabad and took their service weapons, police told The Express Tribune. Security forces launched a search for the attackers.
Pakistani authorities describe the targeted Balochistan-based armed groups as “Fitna al-Hindustan” and accuse India of sponsoring them.
