QUETTA: As part of ongoing Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad , Frontier Corps Balochistan recovered on Saturday a huge cache of explosives and accessories from Dera Bugti, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations press release.

According to army?s media wing, the explosives were recovered from Dera Bugti?s Och area.

The explosives were meant to be used in making of Improvised Explosives Devices, according to the ISPR.

Recently, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa reiterated his support for Balochistan and said the province was his prime focus.

Balochistan - Pakistan's largest province in terms of land area - has been plagued by an insurgency and sectarian killings for several years now. However, security forces have conducted effective operations across the province cracking down on militants.

This has led to a considerable drop in militancy in the province but scattered attacks are still reported at times.

Following the beginning of Op Raddul Fasaad, security forces have intensified intelligence-based and combing operations in the province in an effort to establish peace in the province.
