QUETTA: Five more Levies personnel have been dismissed from service on charges of failing to perform their duties during a militant attack on a check post in Noshki district last week.

The attack was carried out by unidentified militants who used automatic weapons to seize control of the Kishingi check post. After taking over the post, they took away official weapons and equipment and set Levies vehicles on fire before escaping the area. “Levies personnel deployed at the check post failed to offer resistance during the militants’ attack,” officials said.
