Pakistan Terror Attacks: 21 killed In Deadly Attacks
Pakistan terror attacks: 21 killed in the terrorist attacks, a large number of soldiers and security personnel included in the dead. Pakistan was shaken by two major terror attacks on Thursday.
A total of 21 people, including Pakistani army personnel, were killed in both attacks. One terror attack was in the Gwadar District of Balochistan while the second attack took place in the restive northwestern tribal region of North Waziristan.
The first attack was on a convoy of the State Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) in Ormara, Balochistan, killing at least 15 people, including security personnel. The second attack killed at least six soldiers.
In Balochistan, Pakistan, militants attacked a convoy of Pakistani oil and gas workers guarding Pakistani paramilitary forces in which 15 people, including security personnel, were killed, news agency AP reported.
The report said that initially the attack was claimed by the Balochistan Liberation Front but later a new militant organization claimed responsibility for the attack.
Pakistani officials said seven employees of Pakistan’s Oil and Gas Development Company and eight Pakistan Frontier Corps personnel were killed in the attack.
At the same time, militants targeted a military convoy in a bomb blast on Thursday in the troubled northwest tribal region of Pakistan. According to the leading news agency, at least six army personnel including an officer were killed in this attack.
The Pakistani military has said in its statement that the militants targeted the military convoy by detonating an IED near the Rajmak area of North Waziristan.
One captain and five other soldiers were killed in the attack. After the incident, a campaign was launched to raid the attackers.
In its report, the news agency said that immediately after the attack, Baloch Raji Ajoi Singer (BRAS) claimed responsibility for the attack by tweeting.
Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed condolences to the killed soldiers. Imran has called for a detailed report of the attack.
On the other hand, the Pakistan Democratic Movement, an opposition coalition formed to demand the removal of the Imran government from power, is going to start its movement on Friday with the first public meeting.
Frightened by this, Imran Khan has joined forces with the army to crush the movement.
It is said that cases have been registered against more than 450 activists of opposition parties in this exercise. According to sources, the army and Imran are under great pressure due to the aggressive approach of opposition parties.
After Sindh and Ghulam Kashmir, there are going to be anti-government protests in Punjab province too. The first public meeting of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is in Gujranwala, Punjab province.
Meanwhile, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has ordered the deployment of military forces in Gujranwala to deal with any disturbance.
