At least 145 terrorists and 17 security personnel have been killed in coordinated counter-terrorism operations carried out over the past 40 hours across Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province, Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti said on Sunday.

Addressing a press conference in Quetta, Bugti said the bodies of all 145 terrorists were currently in the custody of authorities and that the identification process was underway. He described the operations as the deadliest in such a short span since security forces launched a full-scale campaign against terrorism in the province.

Bugti said 17 personnel from the law enforcement and security forces lost their lives in clashes with terrorists at multiple locations, including Quetta, Sibi, Gwadar, Noshki and Pasni. Earlier in the day, the Pakistan Army said at least 15 soldiers and 92 militants were killed in several counter-terrorism operations launched after ethnic Baloch militant groups carried out coordinated attacks across the province on Saturday.
