As most of Pakistan celebrated Eidul Azha on October 16, the Pakistan Army claimed its operations in the earthquake hit areas of Balochistan had come under fresh attacks.

An Inter-Services Public Relations post on its official facebook page read that “Pakistan army and FC troops continued relief operations in Awaran and Mashkay on Eid day and next day of Eid despite firing by miscreants on security forces.”

The statement added that the attacks had not caused any loss of life or property.

The army went on to say that relief operations have continued in the area with more relief goods including gifts, sweet packs and meat being distributed among earthquake victims.

The military has claimed that its forces busy in relief operations and providing aid to earthquake victims near militant strongholds have come under frequent attacks.
