After a group of gunmen stormed the Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) Complex on Wednesday, security forces acted swiftly and foiled the fierce attack and killed "eight terrorists" belonging to outlawed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
According to media reports, multiple explosions heard after firing in the complex which houses passport office, Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) office, and other government offices.
An explosion was also heard before the firing, police officials told the media, adding that the entire area was cordoned off by security personnel.
A clearance operation is underway at the facility in the security personnel's presence.
Meanwhile, Makran Division commissioner confirmed the incident and number of slain terrorists.
Reacting to the development, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah condemned the attack on the GPA complex, saying: “Elimination of the terrorists is final and the determination of our military men is strong."
CPEC is the future of Pakistan and we will not allow any harm to it under any circumstances, the CM added.
