LvV5D— Radio Pakistan (@Radio. Pakistan)September 28, 2026In a separate operation in Balochistan’s Nokcha area, security forces killed two terrorists belonging to the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) during a chase after an empty water bowser was set on fire,.
The sources said the two men torched the vehicle before attempting to flee. Security forces launched an immediate chase, and both were killed during an ensuing exchange of fire. The sources identified the two men as BLA members and said they had previously been involved in arson attacks at different locations along the N-40 Quetta-Taftan highway.
The incident came less than a month after a major security operation along the N-40 highway on August 31. Security sources said at the time that 11 terrorists were killed after armed men set up what they described as an illegal checkpoint on the N-40 Quetta-Taftan highway in Chagai district in an attempt to disrupt traffic and extort commuters.
The sources said investigators were examining possible links between previous incidents along the N-40 highway and the latest case, particularly attacks involving the torching of vehicles. Security has been tightened in Nokcha following the latest incident.
Security sources said operations against sabotage and terrorist activity were continuing in the area, while investigations were also underway into the latest incident and the alleged involvement of those killed in similar attacks. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the security forces for the successful operation against terrorists in Dera Ismail Khan.
“The security forces have foiled the nefarious designs of Indian-sponsored terrorists. Under the Azm-e-Istehkam vision, indiscriminate operations against terrorists in K-P are continuing and will continue,” he added. Naqvi said that the entire nation stood with the security forces in the fight to eliminate the menace of terrorism.
