A teenager was killed on Tuesday as security forces shot dead at least two terrorists in Mastung district of Balochistan, the district administration said.
The administration said seven other individuals got injured in the attack on Levies Line in the district, while the suspects torched multiple vehicles as well. The assailants fled from the scene after carrying out the deadly attack.
Whereas, the injured were brought to Nawab Ghous Bakhsh Raisani Hospital Mastung.
Reacting to the incident, Balochistan Government Spokesperson Shahid Rind said that Indian-sponsored terrorists attacked a local bank and tehsil offices.
Confirming the death of a 16-year-old youth, Rind said that the security forces surrounded the militants and two of them were neutralised, and three were injured during the intense exchange of fire that followed.
“The immediate response of the security forces was effective in preventing an increase in casualties,” the spokesperson remarked, adding that a systematic clearance operation was underway at the site of the attack, with the security agencies tracking the facilitators of the attackers.
