Quetta: A series of terrorist attacks targeting civilians in the districts of Musa Khel, Kalat, and Lasbela were thwarted by Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies on the night of 25/26 August 2024, affirming their commitment to maintaining peace and development in Balochistan.

According to Inter Services Public Relations, the attempted attacks, orchestrated by hostile forces aiming to destabilize the region, were met with swift and decisive action by the security personnel. In a notable incident in Musa Khel District, terrorists intercepted a civilian bus in the Rara Sham area, leading to immediate response operations that neutralized twenty-one terrorists and curbed further violence.

Unfortunately, the confrontations resulted in the loss of fourteen valiant personnel, including ten members of the security forces and four law enforcement agents, who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. These losses underline the ongoing challenges and dangers faced by those securing the region.

Current efforts include extensive sanitization operations to apprehend and bring to justice all involved in the planning and execution of these acts. The security forces, alongside various law enforcement agencies, reinforced by national support, continue their vigilant defense against threats to the peace and progress of Balochistan.
