Security forces foil terrorist attack on Bannu Cantt
“Terrorism will be eliminated at all costs, and anti-peace elements will not succeed in their nefarious designs,” the chief minister stated.
Balochistan has witnessed sporadic incidents of violence in recent months, with security forces continuing operations to maintain stability in the region.
This is the second terrorist attack in the country in two days. On Tuesday, security forces foiled an attack on Bannu Cantonment.
The militants rammed two explosive-laden vehicles into the walls of Bannu Cantt during peak Iftar hours when the market was crowded.
One of the vehicles detonated in an area adjacent to the market, causing significant damage to a nearby mosque and claiming innocent lives.
“This cowardly attack on innocent civilians and a mosque during Iftar underscores that these militants have no connection to Islam,” stated security sources then.
