Pakistani security forces, aided with gunship helicopters, have started a fresh military offensive early this morning in Pir Ismaeel and adjoining areas of Bolan.
The security forces have completely cordoned off the area by sealing entry and exit points. Locals have reported hearing helicopter shelling and huge blasts since this morning.
Only few days ago Pakistani forces conducted a similar military operation in Harnai, which is also in Bolan. Scores, including women and children, were taken away by Pakistani Army in that operation. Few of those are still missing, whereas, few were killed and dumped in Shahrag and adjoining areas.
