In recent intelligence-based operations conducted across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, security forces and police have successfully eliminated 49 terrorists, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). These operations, aimed at dismantling Khwarij and terrorist networks, targeted Indian proxies and foreign-backed threats.

The ISPR reported 12 militants of India-backed Fitna al-Khawarij were killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while 37 terrorists of India-backed Fitna al-Hindustan were eliminated in Balochistan.

Security forces carried out high tempo joint operations in Bannu, North Waziristan, Orakzai, and Khyber districts. In Bannu, North Waziristan, Orakzai, and Khyber, 12 terrorists were killed, along with a significant amount of explosives, IEDs, detonating remotes, weapons, and ammunition seized. In Balochistan, 10 intelligence-based operations were conducted in Mastung, Mach, Khuzdar, and Panjgur, leading to the death of 37 terrorists.

The operations also recovered a large quantity of weapons, explosive drums, and remote detonation devices.

The ISPR emphasized that these operations were part of a relentless counter-terrorism campaign, with a focus on eliminating foreign-sponsored terrorism. The military stated that clearance and sanitization operations are ongoing in the affected areas, and forces are pursuing remaining militants. They vowed to continue with full momentum under the government-approved Azm-e-Istehkam framework, reaffirming their commitment to the fight against terrorism and the dismantling of militant networks.
