A terrorist commander named Adil Shah, also known as Darvesh, was killed during an intelligence-based operation in Balochistan's Qila Saifullah, according to state-run Radio Pakistan.

Security forces have been conducting operations against terrorists in the region under "Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3."
The slain commander had been involved in managing the group's finances since 2024 and facilitating the presence of foreign terrorists in Balochistan's Zhob, Sherani, and Shaban regions. He had been linked to attacks on security forces and kidnappings for ransom since 2022, with 19 first information reports registered against him and a bounty of Rs2.5 million placed on his head.
