The military’s media affairs arm stated on Tuesday that security forces prevented an attack on a naval installation in Turbat last night, resulting in the martyrdom of a soldier from the Balochistan Frontier Corps and the deaths of four terrorists. Terrorists attempted to assault PNS Siddique at Turbat Wednesday night, according to a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The “swift and effective response by the troops ensuring the safety and security of personnel and assets” was credited with thwarting the attempt.
“Nearby security forces were immediately mobilized to assist the naval troops.” In the ensuing combined clearance operation, all four terrorists were killed thanks to the armed forces’ coordinated and efficient response, the statement stated. 24-year-old Sepoy Noman Fareed of the Balochistan Frontier Corps embraced martyrdom during the fierce gunfight, according to the ISPR. Days prior, the Gwadar Port Authority Complex was the target of a terrorist attack that security forces stopped. As per the information shared by the ISPR, security forces successfully stopped eight terrorists who tried to enter the complex last week. While eight terrorists were slain, two soldiers were made martyrs.
According to Dawn, Makran Commissioner Saeed Ahmed Umrani had earlier stated that on Monday night, there had been a significant firefight and explosions near Turbat Airport. On the phone, he stated, “The armed men attacked from three sides of the airport boundary, but security forces responded immediately and foiled their attempt to infiltrate the premises.” Not to be overlooked, PNS Siddique is one of the largest naval air bases in the nation. Residents reported hearing more than a dozen explosions in Turbat town, and the gunfire started at around 10 p.m. and continued well into the night. The Majeed Brigade of the outlawed Balochistan Liberation Army claimed responsibility for the assault.
