KARACHI: Four soldiers were martyred and eight others injured in two attacks in Balochistan on Monday night, the Inter Services Public Relations said.
The ISPR release further said that at least four terrorists were killed and eight others injured in one of the incidents.
An FC post near Pir Ismail Ziarat in Quetta was targeted by the terrorists, leading to an exchange of fire which continued for some time. According to the ISPR, “4-5 terrorists [were] killed while 7/8 are injured. During exchange of fire 4 brave FC soldiers embraced shahadat while 6 soldiers got injured.”
In the second incident, the terrorists targeted an FC vehicle with an improvised explosive device at Turbat, leaving two FC soldiers injured.
The ISPR said that such cowardly acts by “inimical elements backed by anti-state forces and HIAs 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, it added.

How long we'll continue to sacrifice lives of our brave soldiers, country needs to stand with our army/government and get rid of this terrorisms menace once for all. No modern society fight for their rights through terrorism. The leaders of these terrorists are sitting abroad and enjoying life to its full while ordinary people are paying the price with their lives.

Pakistani govt must go to the root of the problems. Balochistan is Rich province as far as natural resources are concerned but Balochi are living under very pathetic condition.

We are confident that our security agencies will continue to defend the state and fight terrorists with bravery but the Government has to find a peaceful solution by addressing root cause of the problem, which has given a leeway to the hardcore elements to sale their narrative against the state and incite the people to take up arms against the state. Majority of Baloch is patriotic and peaceful and disturbance is only witnessed in some pocket areas in western Balochistan bordering with Iran.

Undoubtedly, his first 2 years were one of the best times in Pakistan history, until the elections and then the crooks came back.

Will Hamid Mir and his like-minded condemn such cowardly attacks on our brave army? Obviously not, because their masters will be offended and their second source of income will be affected. Shame on such hypocrites and black sheep of our society!

Baluchistan did not get any share of CPEC benefits.
People who got employed under CPEC are either Chinese or Punjabis.
Housing project for baloch is run by Chinese and homes are booked by Punjabis.
Of course people will revolt.

Every week it seems our soldiers are being killed with no end in sight. Maybe its time to sit down and talk to the Baloch rebels. Saving one life would be worth the dialogue. Give Baluchistan its rights and no more people have to die.
