33 India-sponsored terrorists killed by security forces in Balochistan since Sept 21: ISPR

Since September 21, security forces in Pakistan's Balochistan province have killed 33 terrorists in anti-terror operations, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The terrorists targeted were from two groups: Fitna-al-Khawarij, the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and Fitna-al-Hindustan, groups designated by Pakistan to highlight India's alleged involvement in terrorism.

On September 24, as part of Operation Shaban, forces dismantled additional terrorist hideouts. In a firefight, they killed five "India-sponsored terrorists," bringing the count to 22. They also recovered weapons, ammunition, and explosives from these locations. The operation will continue until the threat from the area is neutralized.

On September 25, in Nushki district, an intelligence-led operation resulted in the engagement and elimination of 11 terrorists. The ISPR emphasized that the "relentless counter-terrorism campaign under the vision 'Azm-i-Istehkam'" by security forces and law enforcement agencies will persist to eradicate foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from Pakistan.
