On the other hand, at least three persons were injured in the grenade attack in Satellite Town, Quetta.
Police said the unidentified terrorists attacked personnel near Chalo Bawri area. Police and security forces have cordoned off the area. The injured were shifted to the Civil Hospital Quetta for medical assistance.
Meanwhile, Captain Fahad and four soldiers of Pakistan Army martyred during an intelligence based operation in Balochistan, the media wing of military, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported on Sunday.
“Based on credible intelligence, a clearance operation is underway in Kahan area of Balochistan since 24 Dec 2022. Today, an IED exploded close to the leading party. Resultantly, Captain Fahad along with four other brave sons of soil Lance Naik Imtiaz, Sepoy Asghar, Sepoy Mehran and Sepoy Shamoon have embraced Shahadat, laying their lives in defence of the motherland against an externally perpetrated threat of terrorism,” the ISPR said.
The ISPR said such cowardly acts by inimical elements could not sabotage the hard earned peace and prosperity in Balochistan. It said security forces remained determined to challenge their nefarious designs, even at the cost of blood and lives.
“The sanitisation operation continues in the area to apprehend the perpetrators,” the media wing relayed.
Earlier, a Pakistan Army soldier was martyred and a terrorist killed during an exchange of fire in Zhob area of Balochistan on Sunday.
