Yousafzai said militants opened fire in front of children and described the incident as an act of “open terrorism.” He said attacks on women and children reflect a cowardly mindset.
He added that the group shows no respect for women and no regard for the innocence of children.

He said the people of Balochistan and security forces remain united against terrorism. He added that militant elements are approaching their “logical end.”
Yousafzai said militants fired 31 rounds in an attack on an innocent family, calling it the peak of brutality. He said female personnel continue to show strong morale and the fight against terrorism will continue.
