Terrorists Attack Pakistan Air Force Base In The Punjab Province

Islamabad/Channels/Hyderabad, Nov 4 (Maxim News): Heavily-armed terrorists attacked a Pakistan Air Force training base in Punjab province early Saturday, damaging three grounded aircraft, the army said, a day after 15 soldiers were killed in two separate terror strikes.

In a statement, the Pakistan Army said that the Mianwali Training Air Base of Pakistan Air Force was attacked by terrorists but soldiers foiled it by killing three of the attackers and cornering three others.

“However, during the attack, some damage to three already grounded aircraft and a fuel bowser also occurred, the statement said. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. A comprehensive joint clearance and combing operation is in the final stages to completely clear the area, it said.

The attack comes hours after a series of terror strikes killed at least 15 soldiers in the restive Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. Friday’s toll is the heaviest suffered by the military in Balochistan province this year where separatists and militants have stepped up their attacks since a ceasefire deal between the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Pakistan government ended in November 2022.  (Maxim News)
