Four Pakistani security personnel were killed in a terror attack that took place earlier today in Balochistan, Pakistan, according to media reports.
The security convoy came under attack in the Kech district of Balochistan leaving four army officers dead and eight others injured. The attack has so far not been claimed by any organization or insurgent group. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or Baloch militants are likely behind the fatal assault on the Pakistani forces.
This is the second terrorist attack taking place in Pakistan over the past week. Suicide bombers blew up a vehicle before reaching the final target in the capital Islamabad on Friday, December 23, killing one police officer and injuring many others.
The second attack targeted the Pakistani army convey earlier today causing to the death of four military personnel and injuring more.
These terror attacks come as the Pakistani Taliban called off their year-long ceasefire with the government of Pakistan, and intensified their operations in different parts of the country.
Meanwhile, the cross-border shelling between the Pakistani and Afghanistan border security forces on December 11 and 15 marks another level of deteriorating security situation in the border areas of the two neighboring countries suffering from global terrorism.
