Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan averted on Sunday a possible terrorist attack in the province by diffusing an improvised explosive device (IED), the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
According to the military’s media wing, the FC, as part of Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad, recovered and defused an IED planted on Turbat-Dasht road.
The latest military offensive was launched after a series of terror attacks killed over 100 people last month.
“[The] IED was planted to disrupt census process in the area and target security forces,” the ISPR said. “Action saved possible loss of life and threat to census process.”
