As per  in the first incident, some unidentified terrorists attacked FC check post near Pir Ismail Ziarat in Quetta during which four FC personnel were martyred and six were wounded.

Four to five terrorists were also killed in exchange of fire while seven to eight were injured.

“Exchange of fire continues. 4-5 terrorists killed while 7/8 are injured. During an exchange of fire 4 brave FC soldiers embraced shahadat [martyrdom] while 6 soldiers got injured,” said military's media wing.

“Such coward acts by inimical elements backed by anti-state forces and HIAs [hostile international agencies] cannot sabotage the hard-earned peace and prosperity in Balochistan,” the statement added.

Security forces are determined to neutralise their nefarious designs even at the cost of blood and lives, the ISPR added.
