The writ of the state will be maintained in Balochistan at any cost; terrorists cannot escape their fate.

This announcement follows Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's statement that the nation's civil and military leadership have made a "mutual and singular decision" to eradicate terrorism. Speaking at a meeting of the Provincial Apex Committee on the National Action Plan in Quetta, Sharif emphasized collective action against the rising incidents of terror.

“

One thing is decided: it is a mutual and singular decision of the civil and military leadership that we must end terrorism collectively.

The Prime Minister's visit occurred shortly after the military disclosed that at least 42 individuals, predominantly security and law enforcement personnel, had died in terrorist attacks and subsequent operations in Balochistan since July 5. The military's spokesperson identified three major terrorist incidents in recent days and warned perpetrators that security forces would pursue them with "no rationality and proportionality."

there were “three major terrorist incidents” in recent days, an armed attack on the outskirts of Quetta on July 5, an assault on a police post in Ziarat on July 6, and an ambush of an army convoy in Bela on Wednesday.
