Meanwhile, ISPR Director General Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, in a tweet, said the martyrdom of six soldiers on the Pak-Afghan border and four in Balochistan was the sacrifice Pakistan was making for peace in the region.

“While security of tribal areas has been improved with efforts now focused to solidify border, inimical forces are attempting to destabilise Balochistan. Their efforts shall fail with the will of the Almighty,” he added.
