Interim Balochistan Information Minister Jan Achakzai on Tuesday said that six militants were killed after security for­ces thwarted three terror attacks in the province’s Mach town last night.

Security for­ces had thwarted three “coordinated attacks” launched by terrorists using rockets and sophisticated weapons in Mach town on Monday night, some 70km from the provincial capital, officials said.

While Achakzai had initially attributed the attack to terrorists affiliated with the Aslam Acho group, responsibility was later claimed by the Majeed Brigade of the proscribed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).

Security forces immediately responded to the attack and took up positions. The gun battle between terrorists and security forces had continued for several hours.

“Six terrorists eliminated. Two recognised as Doda Baloch and Pardan Baloch. Pics and more details coming,” Achakzai said on social media platform X.

Earlier in the day, he had said that five militants were “neutralised” by security forced. “Updated missing persons list,” the minister said.

It should be noted that the minister has previously stated that missing persons are “BLA terrorists”.

“We commend the swift action taken by the Pakistan Army and Frontier Constabulary Balochistan in thwarting a terrorist attack in Mach, Balochistan,” he said.

“Five BLA terrorists have been neutralised, ensuring the safety of our citizens,” he said, appreciating the “courage and dedication” of the armed forces.

In a separate post, he also shared a picture of one of the dead militants.

“After the clearance operation in Mach, Balochistan, a dead body of a terrorist recovered. There are many more. So far reports, five terrorists were neutralised,” he said.
