Five security personnel, including two officers, and a Customs official were martyred during a “coordinated attack in an attempt to breach the Customs House” on the night of August 31-September 1 in Balochistan, the military’s media wing said.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that on the night of Aug 31-Sept 1, during multiple incidents in Nokcha, Chagai District, and Ziarat Cross, Pishin District, twenty-one terrorists belonging to Indian-sponsored proxies of Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij were sent to hell due to effective responses by the Security Forces.
The state uses the term Fitna-al-Khawarij for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and has designated Balochistan-based groups as Fitna-al-Hindustan to highlight India’s alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistan.
“During the night of Aug 31-Sep 1, terrorists belonging to Fitna al- Khawarij launched a coordinated attack in an attempt to breach the Customs House.
“Security forces responded effectively and, after an intense fire exchange, killed 10 terrorists,” ISPR added.
