Gandapur vows nation’s support against terrorism after Mastung attack

Three Pakistan Army soldiers, including a major, were martyred in a terrorist attack in Mastung district, Balochistan, the military’s media wing, ISPR, said on Wednesday. The attack took place on the night between August 5 and 6, 2025, when terrorists from Fitna-ul-Hindustan, an Indian-backed militant group, detonated a remote-controlled bomb targeting a security forces' vehicle.

PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur strongly condemned the blast targeting a security forces’ vehicle in Mastung, Balochistan, which martyred three personnel, including Major Rizwan Tahir.

In an official statement, Gandapur expressed deep grief over the incident and extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the martyrs. “We equally share the pain of the bereaved families and salute the sacrifices of our brave soldiers,” he said.

The Chief Minister praised the security forces for their “unparalleled sacrifices” in maintaining peace across Pakistan and reiterated the nation’s resolve to eradicate terrorism. “The entire nation stands united with our armed forces in this fight,” he emphasized.

The attack has reignited calls for intensified counter-terrorism operations in the region. No group has yet claimed responsibility.
