Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti confirmed that at least 145 terrorists were killed across the province after militants linked to the banned Balochistan Liberation Army launched coordinated attacks in 12 towns.
Addressing a press conference in Quetta, Bugti said 17 security personnel and 31 civilians embraced martyrdom during the violence that spread across several districts.
The attacks were carried out by terrorists affiliated with India-sponsored Fitna al-Hindustan. Civilians were targeted in Quetta, Mastung, Nushki, Dalbandin, Kharan, Panjgur, Tump, Gwadar, and Pasni.

Strongly criticizing hostile elements, the chief minister said these groups were trying to destabilize Pakistan at the behest of India. He questioned whether the BLA was a registered political party that could be engaged in talks.
