A brazen attack rocked Balochistan’s Gwadar as terrorists unleashed havoc on a military convoy on Sunday morning. The Pakistan Army’s immediate response? Two terrorists annihilated!

Swift Retaliation Ensures Safety of Chinese Workers

In a twist of international proportions, the convoy under attack carried Chinese workers. China’s consulate in Karachi confirmed the startling news, stating that the convoy was returning from Gwadar Airport when tragedy struck. However, luck seemed to be on the side of the Chinese, as the consulate declared, “No Chinese citizens were harmed.” As terror threatens its nationals, China has made an urgent plea to Pakistan for the safety of its citizens and projects, even activating a contingency plan for local Chinese residents.

Former President Joins the Chorus

Ex-President Asif Ali Zardari weighed in, condemning the audacious attack and urging decisive action against its planners. With terrorist incidents surging, Zardari lauded the soldiers for their brave response and underscored the urgent need to uproot terrorism.

Chilling History of Attacks on Chinese Citizens

Recent history paints a grim picture. In July 2021, nine Chinese workers perished in a bus attack near Dasu hydropower plant. Just months before, a devastating blast at Karachi University’s Confucius Institute claimed the lives of three Chinese teachers. Saddar in Karachi also witnessed a cold-blooded attack on a Chinese couple.

Intelligence-Based Operations: A Beacon of Hope?

In a fresh development from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bajaur district, the security forces dealt a massive blow to terror outfits. Four terrorists met their end, and one was captured. This operation also mourned the loss of Sepoy Muhammad Shoaib.

The Pakistan Army remains unfazed, gearing up to cleanse the nation of terrorism’s dark shadow. This resurgence of terror activities, especially post the ceasefire’s collapse with the outlawed TTP, poses significant challenges to the nation’s security infrastructure.

Pakistan’s Ongoing Battle Against Terror

With a spike in terror and suicide attacks, a July report from a think tank disclosed 389 tragic deaths in the year’s first half. A grim day in July saw 12 brave Pakistan Army soldiers embrace martyrdom in Balochistan’s Zhob and Sui areas, marking a record death toll.

As Pakistan grapples with these intensifying challenges, the Foreign Office pointed fingers at Afghan terrorists for one of the devastating attacks, further complicating regional dynamics.
