Security forces have stepped up counterterrorism operations across Balochistan to root out the elements of Fitna-ul-Hindustan, eliminating 21 Khawarij in a series of successful actions carried out in Quetta and adjoining districts.

During an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Quetta, troops raided a terrorist hideout, where a fierce gun battle left ten Indian-sponsored militants dead, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). In Kech district, three more terrorists linked to the same network were neutralized.

Meanwhile, further IBOs in Zhob and Sherani resulted in the killing of eight terrorists associated with Fitna-ul-Khawarij. Security forces also seized a significant cache of arms and explosives during the operations.
