Barkhan district in Balochistan witnessed a targeted intelligence operation by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Saturday, resulting in the death of ten terrorists. Two CTD officials sustained injuries during the intense gun battle, according to Babar Yousafzai, an aide in the Home Department. The operation was carried out after credible information about the presence of terrorists from the Indian proxy group, Fitna al Hindustan, in the area.
Balochistan authorities have designated terrorist groups operating in the province as Fitna al Hindustan to highlight India's alleged involvement in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistan. Additionally, a significant quantity of weapons, ammunition, and explosives were seized from the terrorists. Two CTD personnel were transported to a nearby hospital, while the bodies of the deceased terrorists were taken to the Rara Sham district hospital.
Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti paid tribute to the CTD personnel for their successful operation, emphasizing the crucial role played by security forces in eradicating terrorism from Balochistan and safeguarding the lives and property of the people.
