According to the military's media affairs wing, security forces had launched an operation to apprehend terrorists in Nagao Mountains after receiving information about their presence in the area.

Six Balochistan Nationalist Army terrorists, including Naseebullah Bangalzai alias Jahangir, Pir Jan and Rakai Kalhoi, were killed in the ensuing exchange of fire, the ISPR said. They were involved in recent "security incidents" in Sibbi and linked to the blast in Lahore's Anarkali area on January 20.
