During the operation on August 31, terrorists attempted to disrupt commuter traffic along the crucial N-40 Quetta-Taftan Highway by setting up an illegal checkpoint aimed at extortion. The immediate response from the Security Forces led to the death of eleven terrorists on-site, along with the recovery of a significant cache of weapons and explosives. This decisive action not only neutralized the immediate threat but also underscored the capability and readiness of the Forces to protect the citizens and critical infrastructure.
In a subsequent coordinated attack during the night of August 31 to September 1, terrorists from Fitna al-Khawarij targeted the Customs House, seeking to obstruct the lawful duties of Customs officials and further the agenda of crime in the region.
