Pakistan Army, the bravest in the World. No one comes close even in miles.
Chinese will be rescued safely and terrorists will be sent packed to Hell. I hope some RAW/NDS S-B's will be capture alive.
 
saw ticker on SAMA TV that operation is now over and 13 Terrorist dead with huge cache of Army and explosive recovered , so mention of Hostages or Fatalities on our side .. maybe the Hostages are not there, and the information can be wrong .. lets pray for safe return of these Chinese Brothers/Sisters along with every Pakistani Soldiers .
 
we need to go on the offensive in Baluchistan whats the point of having the military and para military in barracks.
dont need to send in thousands of forces people just small groups working independently with drones and attack helicopters at there disposal. we need to learn from the Israelis
carry out a house to house searches in quetta use nadra system to identify people by police and F. C
some one needs to tell these politicians and generals time to throw these afghans back in to the shit hole they came from if u cant send them back start creating tent cites and keep them locked like the Iranians have done instead of running around all over the country like stray dogs biting us when they like
 
Top IS leadership targeted in Mastung operation

ISLAMABAD: A number of key commanders of the militant Islamic State (IS) group have reportedly been killed in a major intelligence-led counterterrorism operation near Mastung in Balochistan, security officials told Dawn.

The operation in the hills near Mastung started on Friday and was continuing when this report was filed late Saturday night.

The action was prompted by intelligence reports that two Chinese-language instructors kidnapped from Quetta on May 24 were being held in the area. The security forces are said to have recovered the vehicle allegedly used in the kidnapping of the Chinese duo from the area.

Earlier in the month, about 28 people were killed in a suicide attack on the convoy of Senate Deputy Chairman Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri in Mastung.

The Saturday night operation was kept highly classified, according to a military source, to prevent any leakage of information.

The Inter-Services Public Relations, the media wing of the military, did not immediately comment on the reports about the operation.

According to reports, top 10 commanders of the IS from different parts of the country had assembled in the Mastung area for a meeting when the raid began. It is claimed that at least eight or nine of the commanders were killed and the remaining have been captured. The names of the slain commanders were not immediately available.

At least seven troops were injured in the operation, including three officers. Two of the injured soldiers are said to be in a critical condition.

The level of the IS leadership claimed to have been taken out, when confirmed, indicates that it could be the biggest operation against the militant outfit since Lashkar-e-Jhangvi leader Malik Ishaq was killed along with his associates in Punjab in 2015, who were then said to be close to joining the IS.

Security sources say elimination of top leadership would serve a major blow to the IS in Pakistan. Officially the government denies presence of the militant organisation in the country.

A security source said the terrain of the area was very difficult and the troops had to physically go there because there was no option.

“The battle is going on ... kidnapped Chinese persons are inside a deep cave being used as command base by the IS. Special Services Group commandos are going in,” a security source said in a late-night update.
