Security forces have killed at least 67 terrorists in timely and effective operations across Balochistan after coordinated attacks were carried out at multiple locations, security sources said on Saturday.

According to the sources, militants linked to the Indian proxy group Fitna Al Hindustan launched attacks at 12 different sites across the province late last night.

All attempts were successfully thwarted through swift and coordinated action by security forces and law enforcement agencies.

Ten personnel of the security forces and police were martyred while defending against the attacks, the sources said. The martyrs included officials from police and other security agencies.

Security officials said the militants also killed five members of a Baloch labourer family in Gwadar, including a woman and three children.

The latest casualties bring the number of militants killed in the ongoing operations to 67, while the total death toll over the past 48 hours has risen to 108.

Earlier, 41 militants were killed in separate operations in Panjgur and other areas during the last two days.

Balochistan Chief Minister’s Special Assistant Shahid Rind said earlier that more than 70 militants had been killed across various parts of the province in recent operations.

He said militant groups attempted to carry out attacks at several locations, but police and Frontier Corps personnel responded swiftly, foiling all such attempts.

Rind added that terrorists tried to strike multiple sites, but timely and coordinated action by law enforcement agencies prevented major damage.

He said security forces are continuing to pursue fleeing militants and further details will be shared as operations progress.

Security officials said operations are ongoing, with reports of further militant casualties and damage during the continued counterterrorism actions.
