  "account": "In Balochistan’s Kalat district, an intelligence-based operation resulted in the death of four terrorists, while a security personnel member was martyred in a targeted attack, the military’s media wing reported on Monday. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that security forces are on a series of operations in areas surrounding Shadi Kaur, Tehsil Pasni in Gwadar District, and Jattakabad in Kalat District, on the suspected presence of multiple hideouts of Fitna al Hindustan, a term coined by the state to underscore India’s role in terrorism and destabilization within Pakistan.\n\nFollowing a previous operation on October 18, during which four terrorists were eliminated and a significant cache of weapons and ammunition recovered in Jattakabad, ISPR added that security forces conducted a further series of clearance operations in the Shadi Kaur and Pasni areas of Gwadar District. During one such operation, Major Wajahat Waheed, a 34-year-old resident of Lahore, was martyred by an improvised explosive device attack. ISPR reiterated their commitment to a relentless counter-terrorism campaign, in line with the \"Azm-e-Istehkam\" vision approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, promising full pace operations to eliminate any remaining terrorists in the area.",
