According to the ISPR, on the night of 25/26 August 2024, terrorists attempted to conduct numerous heinous activities in Balochistan.

Resultantly, numerous innocent civilians embraced martyrdom,” the ISPR stated.
In Musa Khel district, terrorists stopped a bus in the Rara Sham area and maliciously targeted innocent citizens, working in Balochistan to earn their livelihood.

However, during the conduct of operations, 12 brave sons of soil having fought gallantly, made the ultimate sacrifice and embraced martyrdom.
Sanitization operations are being conducted and the instigators, perpetrators, facilitators and abettors of these heinous and cowardly acts, targeting innocent civilians, will be brought to justice, the ISPR stated.
Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability and progress of Balochistan. “Such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen.
