A violent mob disguised under the banner of the so-called Baloch Raji Muchi has assaulted personnel of the Security Forces engaged in routine security duties, the militry's media wing said on Monday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), in addition, the unprovoked assaults by the violent protesters have resulted in injuries to sixteen soldiers including an officer.
On the other hand, fake and malicious propaganda is being spread on social media using doctored pictures and videos by the propagandists to gain sympathy and support for the unlawful violent march.
Security forces have displayed extreme restraint to avoid unwarranted civilian casualties despite provocations, it added.
The ISPR added the violent actions of the mob are unacceptable and those responsible will be brought to justice.
"All citizens are urged not to fall prey to the propaganda, to remain calm and peaceful, and to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in maintaining public safety and order," it further said.
Security Forces of Pakistan, in step with the Nation, remain determined to thwart attempts to sabotage peace and stability of Balochistan, the ISPR vowed.
