Security forces kill 15 terrorists during Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3 in Balochistan: sources

Security forces have been engaged in Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3 in Balochistan, resulting in the death of 15 terrorists across various areas of the province, according to state media PTV. The operations targeted Khawarij, a banned outfit affiliated with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in locations such as Mastung, Bolan, Washuk, Awaran, Sibi, Khuzdar, Harnai, and Nushki.

Intelligence-led actions led to the seizure of a significant cache of weapons and ammunition from TTP members. PTV reported that these efforts have substantially weakened the Khawarij network, limiting their mobility. The security forces are dedicated to the continuation of Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3 until terrorism is entirely eradicated.

The day prior to this report, security forces executed a search and clearance operation in Kambela and Asimabad, Balochistan, under the same operation. This action claimed the lives of three terrorists, recovered two others, and injured four more, including a key operative named Shaukat Mama. Throughout these operations, approximately 68 square kilometers have been cleared as part of ongoing counterterrorism measures in the region.
