Security forces kill 6 terrorists in IBO in Balochistan's Kachhi: security sources

Security forces conducted an intelligence-led operation in Balochistan’s Kachhi district, resulting in the deaths of six terrorists affiliated with Fitna al Hindustan, a group blamed for India's involvement in terrorism and destabilization in Pakistan, according to security sources. The operation, carried out using quadcopters in Kacchi’s Sanni area, also saw the seizure of a significant amount of weapons and ammunition from the deceased militants.

In recent weeks, Balochistan has experienced a surge in terrorist attacks, leading security forces to ramp up counter-terrorism efforts. On Tuesday, two more terrorists were eliminated in Balochistan’s Chagai district. The military’s media affairs wing reported that over 71 terrorists were killed in Shaban and other areas of Balochistan within the past 96 hours, as of September 27.

Additional terrorist killings in Balochistan include three in Awaran district’s Badrang area on September 17, and another three in Mastung on September 14. In September, a total of 21 terrorists were eliminated in separate engagements across Nokcha, Chagai, Ziarat Cross, and Pishin. According to a monthly assessment by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, terrorist attacks in the province rose by 7% from 83 in July to 89 in August.

Balochistan has been labeled the province "most affected" by terrorism, as per the report.
