(MENAFN) At least five people, including a Pakistan Army major, were killed during a series of security operations in southwestern Pakistan, the military announced Monday, as violence continues in the resource-rich province of Balochistan.
Four militants died during an operation in Kalat district, while an army major was killed in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast in Pasni, a town in the strategically important Gwadar district, according to a military statement.
Security forces continue to confront a low-intensity insurgency in Balochistan, a mineral-rich region where armed groups are fighting for the province’s separation from Pakistan.
