Two soldiers of Pakistan Army were martyred in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast in Balochsitan's Kohlu, the military’s media wing has said.
“Based on credible intelligence, a sanitisation operation was initiated on Feb 10 in the Kohlu area of Balochistan to deny terrorists any liberty of action,” said the Inter-Services Public Relations.
During the ensuing sanitisation of the area, an IED exploded close to the leading party, it added.
"Two officers — identified as Major Jawad and Captain Sagheer — embraced martyrdom and laid their lives in defence of the motherland against an externally perpetrated threat,” the ISPR said.
The communiqué further stated that a sanitisation operation was under way in the area to apprehend perpetrators and enemies of peace.
Such cowardly acts, the military's media wing maintained, by inimical elements cannot sabotage the hard-earned peace and prosperity in Balochistan.
"Security Forces are determined to neutralise their nefarious designs even at the cost of blood and lives.”
Last month, four security personnel were martyred in a terrorist attack in Panjgur district of the province, which originated from neighbouring Iran.
The terrorists made use of Iranian soil to target a convoy of security forces patrolling the border. Iranian authorities were then formally requested to “track down the terrorists” on their side of the border.
On the same day, security forces killed four terrorists during an intelligence-based operation in Hoshab area of the province. The terrorists were suspected in attacks on security forces and civilians, as well as planting IEDs on the M-8 motorway.
During the same month, intelligence agencies sent out a warning of a possible terrorist attacks in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Police and security agencies were put on alert and law enforcers were deployed to ensure strict security at sensitive installations, police offices, important government offices, and other potential targets for terrorists.
The alert was issued after reports that terrorist elements were present in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. These suspected terrorists are presumed to belong to a banned organisation, with plans to carryout sabotage activities to create chaos in the twin cities, one the seat of federal power in Pakistan and the other the home of the army’s General Headquarters (GHQ).
