MACH: Security personnel thwarted a terrorist “fire raid” attempt by members of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in the Mach region of Balochistan late on Monday, according to reports cited by Geo News.

According to The News, terrorists launched multiple rockets from mountains on Monday night, followed by a barrage of gunfire, leaving Mach city deafening and pitch-black.

Explosions and gunfire also occurred in Kolpur and Gokhart Bibi Nani neighbourhoods, trapping people inside their homes.

At 9:30 p.m., in the Mach region of Kuchi Bolan, unknown individuals fired fifteen rockets from the mountains, according to security sources.

Eight missiles landed in the city and nearby areas, four rained into the FC headquarters, one landed in the Levies police station, and two dropped upon Mach Jail Colony.

When the rockets burst into loud explosions and massive fireballs, the city plunged into darkness, and soon the market closed.

Several homes’ windowpanes were damaged by the thunderous blasts. Sources claim that the government in Kolpur and Dharar barred all types of vehicles. Explosions and gunfire could be heard late into the night in Kolpur and Gokhart Bibi Nani.

According to the sources, security personnel set up an ambush for the terrorists after receiving information about the terrorist strike.

They said that the terrorists withdrew after being overpowered by the security forces’ strong reaction.

According to insiders, security personnel have begun a search operation against the terrorists who are escaping.

Security troops in the Mach area on Monday night “successfully thwarted three coordinated attacks” by terrorists, according to Jan Achakzai, the acting minister of communications for Balochistan.

Achakzai went on to say that the terrorists withdrew and were being pursued by law enforcement. “With God’s grace, we continue to hope that all threats will be removed before dawn.”

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.
