According to the ISPR, four of these Fitna al-Hindustan members were killed in an intelligence-based operation conducted in Loralai, a district located in northern region of the province.  

On the other hand, the forces killed one terrorist in Kech district, in southern Balochistan.

The four terrorists killed in Loralai, the ISPR said, were wanted for their involvement in the terrorist attack carried out on N-70, a section of the national highway, in which they martyred 30 innocent civilians.

On the other hand, the security personnel also seized a large quantity of arms and ammunition from their possession.

ZERO TOLERANCE

The ISPR made it clear in its press release that Pakistan would not tolerate terrorism carried under India’s patronage.

Reaffirming the stance that they will continue targeting the terrorists, the ISPR said the security forces enjoyed the nation’s support to achieve the goal.

In his message, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif lauded the security forces for their timely action. He said the armed forces were working tirelessly to eliminate terrorists operating as Indian proxies within the country.

“The entire nation stands united with the armed forces in the war against terrorism, he added.

CHINA

Earlier in the week, China’s Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Liu Bin met with a delegation from Balochistan on Monday, according to a ministry statement.

The two sides exchanged views on issues including security and cooperation between China and the province.

Balochistan has witnessed a rise in terrorism, with India supporting the terrorist organisations and Afghanistan being a used a base camp against Pakistan.

However, it is not just the terror outfits operating in Balochistan, as the Khawarij too have targeted the Chinese nationals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as well.
