Security forces kill 11 terrorists during IBOs in Balochistan's Kharan, Washuk districts: ISPR

Security forces conducted intelligence-based operations in Balochistan's Kharan and Washuk districts, killing 11 Indian-sponsored terrorists and recovering 2.9 tonnes of explosives. On September 6, forces in Kharan intercepted and engaged terrorists attempting to establish a roadblock, resulting in the deaths of eight Indian-sponsored terrorists.

On September 7, in Washuk, security forces conducted a deliberate operation that led to the destruction of a terrorist hideout and the elimination of three terrorists. The military media wing, ISPR, reaffirmed their commitment to the "relentless counterterrorism campaign" under Azm-i-Istehkam, aimed at eradicating foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from Pakistan.

President Zardari and Interior Minister Naqvi both praised the security forces for their professional efforts in thwarting terrorist activities. Balochistan has seen a rise in terrorist incidents recently, with increased attacks in recent weeks, prompting intensified counterterrorism operations.
