‘Enough is enough’: Balochistan minister suggests offering ‘drone bases’ to US to target militant safe havens in Afghanistan
A day after a deadly attack in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Dera Ismail Khan claimed the lives of 23 Pakistan Army soldiers, Balochistan caretaker Information Minister Jan Achakzai has proposed a set of counterterrorism measures, including offering the United States “drone bases to target militant sanctuaries in Afghanistan”.
The minister shared a series of counterterrorism measures in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, noting that issuing a demarche to the Afghan government was insufficient and stressed the need for more stringent measures.
In the deadliest attack on security forces this year, at least 23 Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred and more than 30 troops wounded after militants belonging to the Tehreek-i-Jihad Pakistan (TJP) stormed a compound used by the military in Dera Ismail Khan’s Daraban area, in the early hours of Tuesday. A total of 25 soldiers were martyred in the attack and security operations in Dera Ismail Khan.
Six militants who stormed the building were killed. Separately, two military operations in Darazinda and Kolachi resulted in the death of 21 militants and claimed the lives of two soldiers, the military’s media wing had said in a statement.
Shame on Balochistan caretaker Information Minister Jan Achakzai, who invited US for Base in Baluchistan to attack militant sanctuaries in Afghanistan. Does he unaware that US will target our own people like past years
