Caretaker Minister for Information for Balochistan Jan Achakzai announced on Tuesday that security personnel have killed at least six militants in Mach during an operation. The development occurred just hours after terrorists stormed the city; the minister named Doda Baloch and Pardan Baloch as two of the attackers. On X, formerly Twitter, Achakzai announced the development and said that additional information about the terrorists, including images, is “coming”. Late on Monday night, terrorists fired multiple rockets from mountains, followed by a barrage of gunfire. Mach rang with explosions and fell into darkness. Explosions and gunfire also occurred in Kolpur and Gokhart Bibi Nani neighbourhoods, trapping people inside their homes. Security sources claim that fifteen missiles were fired by unknown individuals.
