Security forces thwarted an attack targeting the protection squad of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Tump in Tump district of Makran Division, according to security sources.

The incident highlights the security challenges faced by government personnel operating in parts of Balochistan. Authorities continue to focus on preventing attacks and protecting officials and other personnel in vulnerable areas.

Earlier operations reported in Balochistan

The reported attack in Tump comes after security forces carried out intelligence-based operations in Kharan and Washuk districts of Balochistan.

According to the statement, the operations were conducted following reports of terrorist activity in the two districts. The military said the actions were aimed at preventing threats and disrupting terrorist operations.

Eight terrorists killed in Kharan operation

The ISPR said that on September 6, 2026, terrorists attempted to establish a roadblock in Kharan. The reported objective was to disrupt local traffic and create difficulties for people travelling through the area.

Security forces responded after detecting the activity and engaged the attackers. According to the military’s statement, eight terrorists were killed during the operation.

The operation was described as part of ongoing efforts to prevent militant groups from disrupting public movement and creating insecurity in the region.
