QUETTA:


No military operations are being conducted in Kohlu, Chamalang or any other area of Balochistan, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, terming all reports regarding the matter “baseless”.



Reports about continuing military operations is just propaganda and a disinformation campaign by criminal elements, said a statement issued on Friday by the ISPR.

The ISPR statement denied reports appearing in some sections of the newspapers, about military operations involving aircraft, helicopters and sophisticated weaponry in Chamalang and bordering areas.

Several nationalist parties also claimed in their statements that a massive military operation was being carried out in the areas soon after a militant group attacked the Frontier Corps (FC) convoy killing 14 soldiers and injuring over 16.
