Panjgur: Security forces have foiled a major terrorist plot in Balochistan’s Panjgur district, recovering a large cache of weapons and communication equipment during an intelligence-based operation, security sources said on Tuesday.
According to security sources, the operation was carried out in the Jirak area of Panjgur following intelligence reports about the presence of terrorist elements.
During the operation, security forces recovered a significant quantity of weapons, explosives, and communication material. Authorities also seized four rocket fuses and multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from a vehicle.
