JWP chief Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti has said the 5th military operation has been launched in Balochistan to pave way for usurpers who are engaged in looting and plundering Baloch resources. He was speaking to newsmen from an unidentified location through the satellite phone on Sunday evening.

“Military rulers are committing atrocities, killing Baloch people for their vested interests,” Nawab Bugti said.

He said that forces were deployed all over the area to force the people to vacate their native towns and villages so everything could be taken under the control of the forces.

He said that jets and helicopters were shelling and security forces were attacking different areas using long-range artillery and other weapons.

He said that according to his information, the Frontier Corps (FC) had vacated their forts in Jhalawan and levies had been deployed in the area for guarding FC bases as the government was sending more forces to Marri and Bugti regions to speed up the military operation. 6.3.06
