Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Monday that “Indian-backed proxies” in Balochistan are using Afghan territory as a base to carry out cross-border terror attacks aimed at destabilising Pakistan.
Speaking in the National Assembly, the lower house of Pakistan’s Parliament, the Defence Minister said that the leadership of these terrorists is based in Afghanistan, and they receive support from elements abroad.
Authorities said the attacks began early Saturday across multiple districts of Balochistan. The terrorists targeted civilians and security forces.
Separately, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti told reporters in Quetta that troops and police responded swiftly, killing 177 terrorists belonging to “Fitna al-Hindustan,” a term it uses for the Indian-backed BLA.
