A Frontier Corps (FC) spokesperson confirmed the death and injury tolls.
“Five militants and a FC man were killed in ensuing heavy exchange of fire with militants. Militants have taken away three dead bodies and their two injured companions,” spokesperson FC stated in his statement.
The statement further stated that a group of armed men disguised as officers attacked the makeshift camp of a construction company, damaging two bulldozers and snatching the weapons of Balochistan Levies personnel. The administration informed FC about the incident, which reached the site and cordoned the area off.
“There was a heavy change of fire between militants and security forces lasted for hours,” the spokesperson said.
The killed FC man was identified as Sobedar Samar Gul. FC recovered a sniper rifle, three Kalashnikovs and two G3s.
The spokesperson also said that militants wanted to stop construction of the road in Buleda.
“FC seized two dead bodies who were wearing uniforms of security forces. They kidnapped the people in security forces’ uniform and blamed FC,” FC spokesperson claimed.
Baloch nationalists blame security forces for kidnapping Baloch political activists and subjecting them to torture at illegal detention cells in Balochistan. The relatives of missing people allege that in many cases, kidnappers raided their houses in FC uniform and use official vehicles to whisk away their loved ones.
Paramilitary group FC is primarily responsible for maintain security at the bordering areas of Balochistan but they were given the additional charge of maintaining public order in the majority of districts in Balochistan.

sad, innocent freedom fighters lost their live by coward FC.
@Javed: You concluded that FCC. Is not simply lying to get out of the case just because of this fake claim of theirs and further you accuse India of being involved in these kidnappings without a shred of evidence.
Good Show... Salute to these people who embraced Shahadat in this war against the enemies of Pakistan.
Now it must be even clear to the so-called liberals who is behind these kidnappings: the Indian funded bunch of thugs wearing FC uniforms who kidnap the baloch ppl and their relatives blame the FC for their kidnappings!
