QUETTA (Lord Media): The provincial government has released a report on the attack at Mangi Dam checkpoint, confirming the martyrdom of 27 security personnel. According to the report, security personnel resisted until the end.<\/p>\n
The report states that on July 6, around 35 police officers, led by a DSP, were stationed when militants attacked. Upon receiving information, the Frontier Corps dispatched a helicopter for aerial surveillance and sent additional police reinforcements.<\/p>\n
The government report highlighted that the terrorists intermittently fired to deplete police ammunition, but the personnel remained steadfast. By evening, the ammunition was exhausted, yet the personnel held their positions.<\/p>\n
When police reinforcements arrived, the terrorists attacked them as well. The FC responded with drones and mortar fire. In the intense clash, 15 terrorists were killed, 9 police officers lost their lives, and 3 were injured.<\/p>\n
According to the report, when ammunition ran out, the personnel split into two groups. One group safely retreated, while the other was taken hostage by the terrorists.<\/p>\n
The government noted that the area’s challenging geography limits combat and movement. Following the incident, the FC and army initiated a combing operation.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during his visit to Balochistan, expressed his determination to eradicate terrorism, stating that the fight will continue until the last terrorist is eliminated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
