On 12 May 2023, a terrorist attack occurred in the Muslim Bagh region of northern Balochistan, Pakistan. Armed militants attacked a Frontier Corps camp, killing security officers and civilians in the process.
Background
When well-equipped militants invaded the Frontier Corps camp in Muslim Bagh early on Friday, the attack took place. Security officers moved quickly to organize a rescue mission for the hostages and to clear the area. Six troops and a civilian also perished in addition to the six assailants. Six other people, one of whom was a lady, also suffered injuries.[1]
Reactions
The military's media branch, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), denounced the assault and reaffirmed the dedication of security forces to preserving calm and stability in Balochistan. The attackers' immediate threat was removed by a successful clearance operation by the ISPR. The ISPR vowed to keep up intelligence work to identify the sponsors of the terrorists, find their enablers, and track down their links.[2]
Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister, expressed his profound sadness and grief over the deaths of the soldiers and civilians. He reaffirmed the nation's support for the security forces and ordered that the injured be given the finest medical care available.[3]
