Security forces foil major terror plot in Balochistan: ISPR

According to Pakistan Army’s media cell, the security forces conducted an Intelligence-based Operation in Splinji area of Mastung during the last two days.

The terrorists were hiding inside a cave for planning, coordination and execution of terrorist activities in Balochistan, stated the ISPR press release.

Five security officials including two officers also got injured in the crossfire.

Balochistan – Pakistan’s largest province in terms of land area – has been plagued by an insurgency and sectarian killings for several years now. However, security forces have conducted effective operations across the province cracking down on militants.

This has led to a considerable drop in militancy in the province but scattered attacks are still reported at times.

Following the beginning of Op Raddul Fasaad, security forces have intensified intelligence-based and combing operations in the province in an effort to establish peace in the province.
