Pakistan says 'Afghan soil' was used to launch an attack that left five of its soldiers dead, days after series of attacks claimed by BLA terror group killed nine soldiers that officials say involved planners from Afghanistan and India
Pakistani troops put an end to four days of assaults by BLA terrorists in Balochistan province, putting the final death toll at 20 militants and nine soldiers.
After seizing power in August, Afghanistan's Taliban pledged terror groups would not be allowed to operate from the country, but anti-Pakistan militant groups have long taken sanctuary across the porous border. "Own troops responded in a befitting manner," it said, adding "terrorists suffered heavy causalities".The army "is determined to defend Pakistan's borders against the menace of terrorism, and such sacrifices of our brave men further strengthen our resolve".
The ISPR said intelligence agents intercepted communications during those assaults on army posts that showed BLA terrorists had links to Afghanistan and India. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project linking China's far-western Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region with the strategic port of Gwadar in Balochistan has sparked claims that the vast influx of investment does not benefit locals.
