The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced that four terrorists were killed and an army major was martyred in recent operations in the Balochistan region. Intelligence agencies had warned of hideouts linked to "Fitna al Hindustan," an alleged Indian-backed terrorist network, in Gwadar and Kalat districts. Security forces conducted operations in these areas to safeguard local communities and eliminate the reported threat.
During an intelligence operation in Jattakabad on October 18, troops engaged with the terrorists after a firefight. Four militants were killed, and a significant cache of weapons and ammunition was seized. In a separate incident in Shadi Kaur, Gwadar district, Major Wajahat Waheed, a 34-year-old soldier from Lahore, was killed when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated.
Waheed was leading the security forces in the operation. The military emphasized that further sanitization efforts would be undertaken to neutralize any remaining threats. They also stated that counterterrorism operations, guided by the "Azm-e-Istehkam" strategy endorsed by the Federal Apex Committee, would continue unabated to combat what they termed as foreign-sponsored and backed terrorism.
