Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1 ends as 216 Indian-backed terrorists killed in Balochistan

Balochistan – (Web Desk) – Security forces have successfully concluded Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1 in Balochistan, involving a series of swift, coordinated, and intelligence-driven actions against Indian-sponsored terrorist elements attempting to undermine peace and development by targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.

According to a statement issued by the ISPR in Rawalpindi on Thursday, 29 January 2026, operations were launched in Panjgur and the outskirts of Harnai district following credible intelligence confirming the presence of terrorists posing an imminent threat to the local population.

During this phase, security personnel targeted identified terrorist hideouts, resulting in the elimination of 41 terrorists linked to Indian proxy networks.

Subsequently, the brave and resolute response of security forces successfully foiled desperate attempts by Fitna-al-Hindustan to destabilize Balochistan. This was followed by a wider campaign of intelligence-based operations across multiple areas, aimed at dismantling terrorist sleeper cells through sustained search, combing, and sanitization efforts.

Through meticulous planning, actionable intelligence, and seamless coordination, Pakistan’s security forces and law-enforcement agencies, with support from intelligence agencies, responded with precision and determination under Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1.

As a result of these well-coordinated engagements and subsequent clearance operations, 216 terrorists have been sent to hell, significantly degrading the leadership, command-and-control structures and operational capabilities of terrorist networks.

A substantial cache of foreign-origin weapons, ammunition, explosives and equipment has also been recovered during the process. Preliminary analysis indicates systematic external facilitation and logistical support to these extremist proxies.

During these operations, 36 innocent civilians, including women and children, embraced shahadat, while 22 brave security forces and law-enforcement agencies’ personnel made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of Pakistan’s territorial integrity and the protection of its citizens. Their courage, professionalism, and unwavering commitment reflect the highest traditions of service. The nation honours their sacrifice and stands in solidarity with the families of all martyrs.

The Pakistan Armed Forces remain steadfast in their resolve to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations under the ambit of Government of Pakistan National Action Plan (NAP) and counter-terrorism operations will continue with full determination until the complete elimination of terrorist threats.

Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1 stands as a testament to Pakistan’s and particularly Balochistan’s proud peoples’ unwavering commitment to always prefer peace over violence, unity over division and development over violence.
