Rawalpindi (Web Desk): As many as 24 terrorists were gunned down by the security forces in post Mach and Kolpur attacks, three-day long, clearance operation, whereas four brave members of the law enforcement agencies embraced martyrdom along with two civilians, the military’s media wing stated on Friday.
According to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), on the night of January 29 and 30, terrorists attacked the Mach and Kolpur Complexes in Balochistan.
However, the law enforcement agencies (LEAs), deputed on security offered stiff resistance and forced the attackers to repulse.
“These terrorists were then hunted down in the ensuing sanitisation and clearance operations which have now been concluded after clearing and securing the area.”
The security forces identified the key terrorists killed as Shehzad Baloch, Attaullah, Salah Uddin, Abdul Wadood and Zeeshan and added that the identification process for others is underway.
“Effective response by LEAs is a testament of their unrelenting resolve in fight against terrorism. Pakistan’s Security Forces stand shoulder to shoulder with other LEAs to ensure peace & stability in this country,” the ISPR said.
