Narrative:

The event occurred on the 280 degree radial/5 nm off the bog VOR heading 100 degrees descending through 11;200 feet MSL. After being cleared for the planned/filed arrival (MQU1A) and passing the first point on the arrival (mqu VOR) approaching gidri (N0511.4 W07436.6); bog approach vectored us on a heading of 070 degrees. Approach then cleared us direct vulam for the VULA2D arrival. After reaching vulam and starting the turn towards dorsa; approach then vectored us to a 220 degree heading to intercept the 280 degree radial inbound to the bog VOR; descend to 12;000 feet MSL. Approaching the 280 degree radial inbound; bog approach then cleared us direct bog VOR; cleared the ILS 13R; descend to 10;000 feet MSL. Approaching the bog VOR on the 280 degree radial at 5 DME passing 11;200 feet heading 100 degrees; a 'caution terrain' aural warning was heard. The pilot flying (PF) immediately started a climb while the pilot monitoring informed ATC that we were in the climb for a terrain alert. Approach then said the minimum altitude in this sector is 12;000 feet. We leveled at 12;000 feet MSL; then approach re-cleared us for the approach. The PF intercepted the 134 course inbound and the glide path at 12;000 feet MSL and continued the approach and landing without further incident.better situational awareness - ATC had vectored us off of two stars and we were having difficulty understanding the controller which lowered our situational awareness significantly. Arranging for a definitive STAR well in advance followed by the approach and staying on the magenta line in accordance with the arrival and approach will enhance safety.
