49 terrorists killed in IBOs in KP, Balochistan: ISPR

Security forces have eliminated 49 terrorists in intelligence-based operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The military wing reported that these operations were part of a relentless counter-terrorism campaign targeting Indian proxies, Fitna al-Khawarij, and Fitna al-Hindustan.

The term Fitna al-Khawarij refers to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), while Fitna al-Hindustan highlights India's role in terrorism in Pakistan. The operations led to the elimination of 49 terrorists in KP, with at least 12 belonging to Fitna al-Khawarij killed in Bannu, North Waziristan, Orakzai, and Khyber districts.

In Balochistan, 37 terrorists of Fitna al-Hindustan were eliminated in ten IBOs in Mastung, Mach, Khuzdar, and Panjgur districts. Explosives, IED detonating remotes, weapons, ammunition, and motorcycles were recovered and subsequently destroyed. ISPR emphasized the security forces' determination to defend the nation's frontiers and continued the relentless counterterrorism campaign under the vision "Azm e Istehkam" to eliminate the threat of foreign-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan.
