The statement said, “Pakistan’s security forces are committed to eradicating the threat of terrorism from the nation, and such heroic sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.”
Jalil Abbas Jilani, the foreign minister, denounced the assault and stated that “such acts were reprehensible.”

The incident was also denounced by Ali Mardan Khan Domki, the acting chief minister of Balochistan. He called the attack on the jawans, who are tasked with defending the public’s property and lives, “a cowardly act,” in a statement.
In addition to expressing his sorrow to the families of the fallen servicemen, Domki paid respect to them. He described acts of terrorism as a plot to undermine the province’s peace and stated that permission would not be granted to undermine the peace that had been achieved with great effort.
In a “cowardly attack,” militants ambushed soldiers, according to PPP Chairman Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari. Bilawal vowed to keep fighting terrorism until the “last militant is eradicated” in remembrance of the fallen soldiers.

“How much our nation has lost in this protracted battle against terrorism! “So many lives left abandoned,” PPP’s Sherry Rehman remarked. “My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the injured and martyrs. We shall never forget the sacrifices they made,” she stated.
I strongly and unequivocally condemn the terrorist attack which left to the loss of 14 of our brave soldiers.
What a price our country has paid in this long war against terrorism! So many lives left desolate.

This occurred just hours after a police-targeted bombing in Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, left five people dead and over twenty injured.
Terrorist activity in Pakistan has increased recently, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This is because the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan’s truce with the government expired in November of last year.
Up to twelve Pakistan Army troops accepted martyrdom in July during distinct combat missions in Balochistan’s Zhob and Sui regions.
The Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) released data in September that indicated the amount of militant attacks in August was the highest monthly total in nearly nine years.
The study stated that there were 99 attacks nationwide, which is the most in a single month since November 2014.
