Security forces kill 19 terrorists in Balochistan operations: ISPR

Security forces in Pakistan have eliminated 19 Indian-backed terrorists through targeted intelligence operations in Balochistan, while a soldier tragically lost his life, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). Since September 21, security personnel have been carrying out a clearance operation in the Shaban area of Quetta district following intelligence reports of terrorist hideouts.

Intense firefights led to the deaths of 13 terrorists and the seizure of weapons, ammunition, and explosives from the cleared hideouts, the military's media wing reported. The operation will persist until the complete neutralization of the threat in the region.

On September 22 and 23, separate intelligence-based operations were conducted in Kech district and Quetta West, resulting in the deaths of six additional terrorists. During these engagements, the ISPR confirmed that Subedar Muhammad Jamil, a 39-year-old soldier from Taunsa Sharif in Dera Ghazi Khan district, was killed while performing his duty.

The counter-terrorism campaign, guided by the "Azm-e-Istehkam" vision endorsed by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, will continue unabated, the ISPR affirmed, emphasizing the commitment of security forces and law enforcement agencies to eradicate the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the nation.
