Five terrorists including ‘Fitna al-Hindustan commander’ killed in Panjgur IBO: state media

In a recent operation in Balochistan’s Panjgur district, security forces have killed five terrorists, including a prominent member of a terrorist organization known as Fitna al-Hindustan, according to state media PTV News. The intelligence-driven operation took place in the Sarkani and Chedgi areas, as part of the ongoing Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3.

Among those killed was an individual identified as Wazir, who was a key Fitna al-Hindustan commander. Four motorcycles, machine guns, heavy weapons, and ammunition were recovered from the deceased terrorists during the operation. The slain terrorists were involved in various criminal activities such as robberies, extortion, kidnappings, and other terrorist attacks targeting local traders and residents in Panjgur.

The government had previously decided in March 2025 that all terrorist groups and organizations operating in Balochistan would be referred to as 'Fitna-al-Hindustan', citing their involvement in terrorist activities at the behest of India (Hindustan). This decision was aimed at reflecting the true nature and ideology of these terrorist organizations and their nefarious designs against the people of Pakistan.

On the previous day, security forces had killed 15 terrorists in intelligence-based operations against Khawarij in several districts, recovering a large cache of weapons and ammunition from members of the banned outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or Khawarij.
