QUETTA: Security forces in Balochistan have killed 92 militants, including a key commander, and have conducted 417 targetted operation in the province during the last four months, said Balochistan Home Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti on Friday.

“Security forces in the province have also seized more than 10,000 kilograms of explosives and other arms and ammunition,” said Bugti while addressing a press conference.

The home minister added that terrorism will not be tolerated in the province, and stated that during the last four months of operations, 22 Frontier Corps (FC) personnel have been killed and 65 injured.

Referring to the recent arrest of Kulbushan Jadhav from the province, an Indian intelligence officer working with RAW, the home minister reiterated that RAW was active in subversive and terror activities in the province.

The government later aired a confessional video of the Indian spy.

“The RAW agent is being interrogated in connection with terrorist activities in Balochistan,” added Bugti.

Anwar ul Haq Kakar, spokesman for the provincial government, said the Indian intelligence agency was “hatching conspiracies against China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).”

Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest but least developed province, has remained under the grip of violence for over a decade which has claimed thousands of lives.
