The military’s press wing said security forces are determined to thwart conspiracies of destroying peace in Balochistan.

A day earlier, security forces foiled an attempt to ambush a convoy in Balochistan’s Kech district and killed eight terrorists in a follow-up operation.

The security forces conducted a sanitisation operation in Mazaaband Range on Thursday and killed eight terrorists.

“While alert and combat-ready troops not only foiled this cowardly attempt without any loss of life, they also immediately commenced a follow-up operation to hunt down the fleeing terrorists using ground and aviation assets,” read the statement.

The ISPR said that a suspected hideout of terrorists was identified in Mazaaband Range where a sanitisation operation was launched.

“In ensuing, heavy exchange of fire, eight terrorists have been killed while a large cache of arms and ammunition including explosives has also been recovered,” it added.

The ISPR vowed that the security forces will continue to thwart any attempt by inimical elements, on the behest of hostile intelligence agencies, to disrupt hard-earned peace in the province.
