IBO operation in Pishin: suicide attacker, four militants killed

WEB DESK: Pakistani security forces carried out an intelligence-led operation in Pishin, killing a suicide attacker and four militants affiliated with the India-backed group Fitna al-Khawarij, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported.

According to the ISPR, intelligence had confirmed the presence of the militant group in the area. During the operation, forces engaged the entire group, targeting them effectively while they were armed. One of the militants carried out a suicide attack, detonating explosives in what the ISPR called a “cowardly act.”

Security personnel also recovered a cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosive materials from the militants. The ISPR added that the slain terrorists had been involved in multiple previous attacks in the region.

Clearance and sanitisation operations are ongoing to eliminate any remaining militant presence. The military reaffirmed its commitment to conducting counter-terrorism operations with full intensity under its ongoing stability efforts.
