Security forces killed 17 Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Hindustan terrorists in a series of intelligence-based operations across Balochistan, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The operations were launched after the May 24 incident and targeted terrorist hideouts in several districts.
According to ISPR, security forces conducted operations in Mastung, Nushki, Zehri, Khuzdar, and Kech districts of Balochistan.
The operations were carried out following intelligence-based information after the May 24 incident.
ISPR said troops effectively engaged multiple terrorist locations, resulting in intense exchanges of fire.
In the operations, 17 terrorists were killed, delivering a significant blow to terrorist networks operating in the region.
Several terrorist hideouts were destroyed during the operations, the military’s media wing stated.
Security forces also recovered a large cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives from the killed terrorists.
According to ISPR, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also recovered from the possession of the slain terrorists.
Officials said the recovered material was linked to planned terrorist activities in the area.
Clearance operations continue
ISPR confirmed that clearance and search operations are still ongoing in the affected areas to eliminate any remaining terrorist presence.
Security forces and law enforcement agencies continue to conduct targeted actions under the national counter-terrorism framework.
Counter-terrorism drive under ‘Azm-e-Istehkam’
ISPR stated that the operations are part of the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign under “Azm-e-Istehkam,” approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan.
The military said the campaign will continue at full pace to eliminate terrorism from the country.
ISPR described the neutralised individuals as terrorists linked to Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Hindustan, claiming they were involved in multiple terrorist activities in the region.
The statement emphasized Pakistan’s continued resolve to dismantle foreign-backed terrorist networks.
