Armed terrorists belonging to Fitna-al-Hindustan carried out a coordinated attack involving grenade throwing and indiscriminate firing on three police stations in District Jhal Magsi, according to security sources.
The attacks resulted in injuries to three civilians, all local residents, who were caught in the vicinity of the targeted police installations. The incident has been described by officials as a “cowardly act” aimed at destabilizing peace and creating fear among the local population.
Upon receiving reports of the attack, Frontier Corps (FC) Quick Reaction Force (QRF) units swiftly responded to the scene, forcing the attackers to retreat and preventing further escalation. Security forces immediately cordoned off the area and launched search operations to track down those involved.
Authorities stated that the terrorists attempted to exploit civilian areas for propaganda purposes after failing to achieve operational success against security forces. Officials further noted that such groups increasingly rely on social media narratives to exaggerate incidents and mislead the public following failed attacks.
Security officials reiterated that attacks on law enforcement institutions and civilians will not weaken the resolve of security forces, who remain fully committed to maintaining peace and stability in Balochistan.
Investigations into the incident are underway, and further details will be shared as the situation develops.
