Security Forces Successfully Thwart Terror Attack in Gwadar Market

Security forces and the bomb disposal squad successfully foiled a terrorist attack in Gwadar’s market area late last night. The terrorists had planted explosive devices with the intent to disrupt an upcoming rally. The timely and effective action by security forces prevented the planned attack and ensured the safety of the area.

The clearance operation was carried out meticulously, and the explosives were safely defused. This operation highlights the ongoing efforts of security forces to maintain peace and stability in Balochistan. The terrorist organizations operating in the region have been significantly weakened due to continuous and strategic operations by the security forces.

This incident follows a recent attack on the Bannu Cantonment, where 10 terrorists attempted to breach the cantonment walls using a vehicle loaded with explosives. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of 8 security personnel, but the prompt action by the forces eliminated all 10 terrorists. The attack was attributed to the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, which has been conducting terrorist activities from Afghan soil.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) emphasized the need for the Afghan government to take effective measures against terrorist groups using their territory to launch attacks on Pakistan. The ISPR reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to countering threats from across the border and ensuring national security.
