At least eight soldiers have been killed and five wounded after a group of unidentified gunmen opened fire on a security forces convoy in the southwestern Pakistani district of Panjgur, the country’s military said.

In Tuesday's incident, three vehicles were targeted in the Gichak area, about 400km south of the Balochistan provincial capital Quetta, a brief statement by the military said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Pakistani forces have been fighting an ethnic Baloch armed separatist movement in the region for more than a decade.
Armed separatist groups have waged a guerilla campaign in Balochistan, the country’s largest but least populated province, for years, targeting security forces, government installations and projects associated with the $60bn China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

On June 29, four Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) gunmen stormed the country’s main stock exchange in the southern city of Karachi, killing three private security guards and a policeman.


Violence by Baloch armed groups has increased in the last year, with security forces among targets.

Separatist groups have demanded independence for ethnically Baloch areas of Balochistan, accusing the Pakistani government of extracting the province’s rich natural resources while not investing in the people of the province.

Balochistan’s districts regularly rank near the bottom of Pakistan’s human development indicator rankings, and rights activists say those espousing separatist politics are routinely subjected to enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings.

All road convoys by army should be accompanied by attack drones.

Each attack should be a learning experience. We don't learn jack
Why there is no air support??

The minute such attack starts air assets manned or manned shud be in air.

Ambush can happen but perpetrators Sud not be allowed to get away

BLA is responsible of today's attack


False News.

Aljazeera always put up its source from banned outfits new sites and their twitters handlers. Govt of Pakistan should take notice of this.

Al Jazeera has an anti Pakistan lean. The Qataris are probably triggered by CPEC.
 
Dawn is reported 3 dead and 5 in critical condition at hospital. We can expect this number to rise.

Shame on our military leadership who fail soldiers by sending them into harm's way in unarmed jeeps and little or no close in support.

So much for attacks drones which seem to be deployed to wrong theatres.

It's lesson to learn, how Anti Pakistan faction active around the world. Ajazeera is operated by British based firms.
 
Bhai very sad and heart breaking news, please our military need to think that we need full attention in Baluchistan instead of managing civil affairs we need full concentration here please.
its better to shift intelligence HQ in Baluchistan from Islamabad for short time period.
 
pls update the caption on social media accordingly and thread title. we had number of injured wrong onCaption... and ask those who claimed 8 martyred to bring forward 8 dead bodies... we have pics of inly three pics, no more than that.... everyone else just cooked up figures

Thread title done. I really don't get it that why the so-called wanna be experts couldn't wait for a while to give right figures? but yeah, since anyone of us starts to shame them for such a sloppy journalism, they will learn eventually. Afsos.
 
I have seen many threads like this but unfortunately nothing will happen. We have cried for mrap but nobody in top brass give attention to this problem. Jf-17 program is not bigger than the lives of our soldiers.i understand that we are a bad economy but we can still buy mrap. Unfortunately there is no willingness and it hurts.

Also Irani sympathizers in parliament Don't want any action against iran.what is the use of air Force and drones if they can't protect a convey? Also this insurgency will not end in balochistan.this will end inside iran.again there is no willingness to take action.iran gifted us kulbhushan and uzair Baloch and we didn't even blame them properly. Now kulbhushan is doing fun in jail. Nobody will hang him and uzair Baloch will also remain in jail. What is the purpose of capturing enemy if you don't have the balls to execute them? Questions are so many.nobody wants to see dead bodies of its country soldiers.we aren't in authority but those who have authority should now care.

I understand no pakistan action after abrogation.we are a weak economy but I don't understand Hilux use in balochistan.looks like there is no willingness to save soldiers. All in all, we keep crying but nobody cares.

Even israel is better. At least Israel is smart and attack Iran where it hurts most. Where is our response? We are also not helping kashmiri insurgency. It's like doing nothing and praying to God that enemy will not attack. Pathetic.
