In a major act of sabotage, Khawarij operatives on Tuesday targeted a key gas pipeline from the Bettani Gas Field to Punjab, using explosives to destroy a main section of the line.According to official sources, the explosion triggered a fire and caused a massive gas leak. The pipeline was attacked in the Torwah seasonal stream area, which provided cover for the perpetrators. Authorities believe the site was deliberately chosen to hinder immediate access and response.
Soon after the blast, security forces were dispatched to the site and cordoned off the area. Emergency teams have also been mobilized to control the fire and assess the extent of the damage.Investigations are underway to identify and apprehend those involved in the attack. Officials have condemned the incident as an assault on critical national infrastructure aimed at destabilizing the region and disrupting essential energy supplies.
This latest act of sabotage underscores the persistent threat posed by Khawarij elements targeting Pakistan’s security and economic assets.
