Five security men martyred
In Balochistan’s Kech district, five security personnel, including an officer, were martyred in an explosion on Monday.
Official sources, while confirming the attack, said that militants planted an improvised explosive device (IED) in the Mand area, near Pak-Iran border. The device was detonated by a remote control to target the vehicle moving between tehsil Dashat and Mand.
“The vehicle was blown up and all five security personnel were martyred,” a senior official told Dawn, identifying the martyred officer as Captain Waqir Kakar.
Other martyred personnel were identified as Naik Junaid, Naik Asmat, Lance Naik Khan Muhammad and Sepoy Zahoor Ahmed.
After receiving information about the incident, security forces rushed to the site and shifted the bodies to nearby health facilities.
Later, the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the IED attack.
Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti paid tribute in a statement on X, saying: “Another brave son of Balochistan, Captain Waqir Kakar, embraced martyrdom while defending the people and his beloved Pakistan. His sacrifice will forever remain a shining chapter of courage and honour. Balochistan and Pakistan will never forget you.”

At least one policeman was martyred, while two Levies personnel were injured after armed unknown assailants attacked two police stations and a Levies station in Balochistan’s Sherani district on Wednesday, Deputy Commissioner Hazrat Wali Kakar said.
“The police and Levies personnel retaliated, and an exchange of fire went on for three hours,” DC Sherani said in a statement, adding that the retaliation prevented any major damage.
“However, one policeman was martyred during the attack and two Levies personnel were injured, while another Levies official remains missing,” he said.
He added that the deceased was identified as Aftab-ur-Rehman, while the two injured — identified as Kalu Khan and Abdul Wahid — were rushed to the Trauma Centre in Quetta.
“A search operation is underway to look for the assailants. They attacked the police with rocket launchers, snipers, and explosives, damaging the stations’ communication system,” he said.
“The unknown assailants set a Levies vehicle on fire along with another vehicle carrying relief supplies from the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).”

Security forces kill 5 ‘Indian-sponsored’ terrorists in Khuzdar IBO: ISPR
Dawn.comSeptember 17, 2025
Security forces earlier this week killed five “Indian-sponsored terrorists” during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Khuzdar district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Wednesday.
The state has designated Balochistan-based groups as Fitna-al-Hindustan to highlight India’s alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistan.
In a press release, the ISPR said security forces conducted the IBO on the night of 14/15 September on the “reported presence of terrorists belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al Hindustan”.
“During the conduct of operation, own forces effectively engaged the terrorists’ location, and after an intense fire exchange, five Indian sponsored terrorists were sent to hell,” the military’s media wing added.
“Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area,” the ISPR noted.
Sanitisation operation was being conducted to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area, according to the ISPR.
“Security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian sponsored terrorism from the country, and reaffirm the nation’s unwavering resolve to bring the perpetrators of terrorism to justice,” the military reaffirmed.
The operation comes after five security personnel, including an officer, were martyred in an explosion in Balochistan’s Kech district on Monday.
Over the weekend, security forces had killed 31 terrorists in two separate INOs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Lakki Marwat and Bannu districts, ISPR said.
On September 12, the ISPR said troops had also killed four “Indian-sponsored terrorists” during an IBO in Balochistan’s Mastung. On September 7, two people were seriously injured in Khuzdar’s Naal area when an improvised explosive device was detonated, police said.
Last month, security forces gunned down 50 terrorists over a four-day operation, foiling an attempt by militants to cross over from Afghanistan into Balochistan.

DERA BUGTI: At least three people were killed and four others seriously injured in two separate landmine explosions on Wednesday in the Sui area of Dera Bugti district in Balochistan.
The first explosion occurred around 7 am in Saghari village. A woman, her 8-year-old daughter, and a local resident, Ghulam Nabi, were killed instantly as they stepped outside their home. Eyewitnesses said the blast was so severe that the victims’ bodies were unrecognisable.
The second blast took place in the border area of Yaru, where two men, a woman, and her 10-year-old son sustained injuries. Levies personnel rushed to the site and transported the wounded to Dera Bugti Civil Hospital. Doctors later described the condition of two victims as critical.
Levies and Frontier Corps personnel cordoned off the blast sites and launched a search operation. Authorities confirmed that a team of experts had been called in to assess the nature of the explosives. District officials announced an inquiry into the incident. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the blasts.
