Security forces have successfully eliminated 18 Indian sponsored terrorists in two separate operations across Balochistan. The operations, conducted on October 28 and 29, form part of Pakistan’s ongoing counter-terrorism campaign.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intelligence-based operation (IBO) was conducted in the Chiltan Mountains area of Quetta. Security forces engaged terrorists at their location, and after intense exchange of fire, 14 militants were killed.
In a second operation in Buleda, Kech district, a terrorist hideout was discovered. Four terrorists, actively involved in violent activities, were eliminated. Weapons, ammunition, and explosives were recovered from the killed militants.
Sanitization operations continue to ensure no Indian sponsored terrorists remain in these areas. The operations are part of the Azm-e-Istehkam campaign, approved by the Federal Apex Committee under the National Action Plan. Security forces and law enforcement agencies are determined to remove the threat of foreign-backed terrorism.
A day earlier, security forces carried out a Kurram operation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, targeting terrorists linked to India. Seven militants from the Indian-backed group Fitna-tul-Khawarij were killed. Six Pakistan Army personnel, including 24-year-old Captain Nauman Saleem from Mianwali, Punjab, embraced martyrdom during the intense clash. Other martyred soldiers were Havaldar Amjad Ali (39) from Swabi, Naik Waqas Ahmed (36) from Rawalpindi, Sepoy Ejaz Ali (23) from Shikarpur, Sepoy Muhammad Waleed (23) from Jhelum, and Sepoy Muhammad Shehbaz (32) from Khairpur.
