# Two women killed, 7 terrorists dead in Balochistan attacks 2026-08-16T15:02:02+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Two women from a Sindh family were shot dead in a terror attack in Pakistan's Balochistan on Saturday. The family, visiting from Karachi on business, came under fire in Segi, a tribal area in Qilla Abdullah, when they failed to stop at a checkpoint. A man and his daughter were also injured and taken to Quetta's Trauma Centre. Police said Segi is a no-go area due to an ongoing tribal war. In a separate operation, security forces killed seven terrorists in the Laje area of Kharan district late Saturday night. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the militants belonged to Fitna al-Khwarij, a term used by the state for banned groups. The operation was based on intelligence reports. The latest violence follows a pattern of attacks and counter-operations in Balochistan. On July 6, 27 policemen were kidnapped and killed at a check post in Ziarat. On August 12, 18 terrorists and three others died in a blast and subsequent security sweep. Separately, the ISPR reported that 27 TTP terrorists were killed over the weekend in intelligence-based operations in North Waziristan and Bannu districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in - millenniumpost.in This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
