A major counter-terrorism operation is currently underway in Balochistan’s Noshki district after terrorists belonging to the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) attempted to block the strategic Quetta-Taftan Highway.
According to BP reporter, the militants tried to establish roadblocks on the highway and reportedly sought to stop vehicles, intimidate travelers, and carry out extortion activities. In response, Frontier Corps (FC) personnel, in coordination with local tribal elders and security agencies, launched an operation to clear the area and pursue the attackers.
Officials say intense engagements between security forces and terrorists are ongoing in parts of the district. Initial reports indicate that several militants have been killed, while security forces continue clearance operations to eliminate remaining threats and secure the highway.
Key BLA Commander Reportedly Among Militants Killed
Security sources claim that a senior BLA commander is believed to be among the terrorists killed during the ongoing operation. However, authorities have not yet released the identities of the deceased militants, and further details are expected once the operation concludes.
The Quetta-Taftan Highway is considered one of Balochistan’s most important transport routes, linking the provincial capital with border regions and serving as a key corridor for trade and travel.
Counter-Terrorism Operations Continue Across Balochistan
The latest operation comes amid intensified counter-terrorism efforts across Balochistan, where security forces have increased intelligence-based operations targeting militant networks and their facilitators.
Officials maintain that operations against terrorist organizations will continue until all threats to public safety, national infrastructure, and regional stability are eliminated.
Authorities have urged citizens to rely on official updates as the situation develops. More details are expected as security forces continue their operation in the area.
