Six trucks, three buses and two cars recovered from terrorist hideout near Kalat, says ISPR
Security forces successfully thwarted a terrorist attempt to establish a check post near Kalat, rescuing 23 abductees and killing five terrorists, according to the military’s media wing. The operation took place during the night of September 18-19 when terrorists from Fitna al Hindustan targeted the Chaman-Karachi N-25 highway near Kalat.
The terrorists aimed to disrupt the movement of people by setting up a check post for abductions, ransom, extortion, and vehicle snatching. The armed forces responded swiftly, engaging in intense fire exchanges that resulted in the death of five terrorists. Following the operation, 23 abductees were rescued from the terrorists' hideout, along with six trucks, three buses, and two cars.
Additionally, a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and explosives were recovered. The military emphasized that this successful operation had prevented the "nefarious designs" of the Indian-sponsored proxy of Fitna al-Hindustan, and counter-terrorism efforts under the "Azm-e-Istehkam" vision would continue with full determination.
