Fifteen terrorists killed in Balochistan: ISPR

Security forces in Balochistan have killed 15 terrorists, including members of the outlawed groups Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna al-Hindustan. According to the ISPR, a targeted operation in Harnai based on actionable intelligence led to the elimination of 12 Indian-sponsored militants, while a separate operation in Basima resulted in the deaths of three terrorists affiliated with Fitna al-Hindustan.

Weapons, ammunition, and explosive materials were recovered from the deceased, and clearance operations in the areas are ongoing, the military added.

The ISPR said the eliminated militants had been involved in multiple acts of terrorism and stressed that security forces would continue operations with full force to eliminate terrorism across the region.

“Pakistan will not allow any terrorists working under foreign direction to find shelter in the country,” the ISPR statement said.

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has praised Pakistan’s security forces for eliminating 15 Indian-sponsored terrorists in Balochistan. He lauded the troops’ courage, professionalism, and timely action, saying their operations successfully thwarted the militants’ “nefarious designs.” Naqvi extended his appreciation for the forces’ role in combating the outlawed groups Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij
