ISLAMABAD (TSAT) - Pakistan army killed three key Baloch terrorist commander in during follow up operation against the BLA after recent attacks on its camps in Balochistan, the military said on Friday.

In a statement, Pakistan army said that three terrorists including two high value targets were killed at Balgatar, Kech in a follow up clearance operation conducted on a makeshift Terrorist hide-out linked with recent terrorist activities in Panjgur.

“The terrorists hide out was surrounded on a major intelligence tip off. Security Forces encircled the well dug out Terrorists and in intense exchange of fire killed all 3 Terrorists hiding there,” said ISPR.

The terrorist who were killed include terrorist commander Summair alias Bahar, terrorist commander ALtaf alias Lalik and Terrorist commander Phailan Baloch who was involved in terrorist activities against security forces in Hoshab, Panjgur and other areas, its saıd.

“The killed terrorists were involved in terrorist activities in complete Balochistan. Cache of arms and ammunition recovered from hide out.”

The military launched operation in different areas after the Wednesday night coordinated attacks carried out by the Baloch militants in Naushki and Panjgur in which at least seven soldiers were martyred and 13 terrorist killed.

According to the military sources, intelligence agencies have intercepted communications between terrorists and their handlers in Afghanistan and India.

While the terrorists attacks were ongoing in Pakistan, Indian media including sponsored social media accounts started spreading disinformation about the situation raising questions over their connivance with the hostile elements who have been working to create instability in Balochistan since long.
 
Killed terrorists’ pictures clearly indicate that terrorists were using state of the art weapons and equipment like M-16s, 7D rifles (US origin), foreign manufactured NVDs and other equipment during the operation raising serious questions about who was directly providing this logistical support to these terrorists while they were undertaking these heinous attacks.
 
Afghanistan is being used as a base to launch these attacks by Indian handlers. In an organised effort to foment violence and anarchy in Pakistan especially Balochistan, there is a clear shift visible in terrorists strategy of launching physical attacks, fully funded and planned with Indian and foreign support, said security sources.
 
“Earlier these terrorists used to launch isolated small arm firing/ rocket launcher attacks from distant locations however with increased Indian sponsored financial and logistic support, they are now launching physical attacks”, said security sources.

Last night attack by terrorists have shown that India is fully funding and using its sources to support and finance Baloch and TTP terrorists so as to aggravate security situation in Pakistan, especially in Balochistan.
It is worth mentioning that timings of the terrorists attack has been kept at a time when PM Imran Khan is on a high profile visit to China, CPEC project in Balochistan is progressing smoothly and various international dignitaries and sports players/ teams are visiting Pakistan.
Nevertheless, Pakistan security forces have yet again not only have repulsed the terrorists attacks but have also traced those elements who were planning and orchestrating these attacks.
