Meanwhile, the Namaz-i-Janaza of two soldiers who were martyred while foiling a terrorist attack on Gwadar Port Authority on Wednesday, was offered today.

Security forces killed at least eight militants on Wednesday as they tried to storm the Port offices in Gwadar yesterday.

Local official Saeed Ahmed Umrani said that eight militants had been killed in an attempt to "infiltrate" the compound of Gwadar Port Authority.

Gwadar Port, which sits on the Arabian Sea, is managed by a Chinese firm and considered the crown jewel of Beijing's investment in Pakistan under its gargantuan Belt and Road infrastructure project.

The attack was claimed by separatist group the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in an email statement, and spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said military intelligence offices had been targeted.
