Balutchistan has witnessed an increase in terrorist activities in recent days. However, the Pakistani army has annoyed numerous attacks and terrorist neutralized supported by India in intelligence operations.
Last week, a 16-year-old boy lost his life and seven other people were injured in a terrorist attack in the Mastung district, while two Indian proxy attackers were shot down during a counter-operation by the security forces.
Balutchistan government spokesperson Shahid Rind said that armed men have targeted the main government facilities, including the Tehsil office, a local bank and other administrative buildings. They opened a blind fire, killing a teenager on the spot and leaving at least seven other injured.
Police said the attackers entered the city in the morning and put the government offices and two fire banks. Frontier Corps (FC) security personnel, Terrorism Department (CTD) and Right Levies responded quickly and engaged the attackers in a counter-terrorist operation.
