Prime Minister Shehbaz’s visit came in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in Balochistan, where 42 security personnel and civilians were martyred in three major incidents across the province this week.
A day earlier, Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, while briefing the media on the security situation of the province, said that Balochistan had witnessed three major terrorist incidents in the last four days.
He said 42 security personnel and civilians were martyred in different parts of the province, including 10 soldiers who lost their lives when an army convoy was attacked in Bela area of Winder.

On Tuesday, terrorists ambushed policemen posted in Kach Mangi Phase III area of Ziarat, triggering hour-long gunfights that left nine policemen, including two station house officers (SHOs), dead. Terrorists also abducted several civilians and policemen after the attack. Five of the abducted civilians later managed to escape while security forces successfully rescued a constable during the operation.
On Tuesday, CM Bugti also led a rally in Ziarat after nine policemen were killed in a terrorist attack. In a statement, Bugti warned that anyone who challenges the state summons will only face defeat and destruction.
The chief minister confirmed that indiscriminate operations against terrorists and their facilitators will continue until the last militant is eliminated. He emphasized that those who take up arms against the state will find no refuge in Balochistan.
Bugti stressed that there will be no compromise on the peace, stability and development of Balochistan and any conspiracy against the province will be crushed with strength, determination and national unity.
