Shahid Rind said banned militant groups launched coordinated attacks on multiple locations, including sensitive government installations. He added that the swift and effective response by security forces prevented the attackers from achieving their objectives and protected civilians in targeted areas.

Following the attacks, security forces intensified Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1, targeting terrorist hideouts, leadership, and support networks. According to officials, the operation severely damaged militants’ command-and-control structures and disrupted their ability to operate across the province.
Law enforcement agencies have detained several suspects during ongoing search and clearance operations. Authorities urged citizens to cooperate with security institutions by reporting suspicious activity to help prevent future attacks.
