23 terrorists killed in Balochistan operations over 72 hours: ISPR
On Sunday, the Inter-Services Public Relations reported that Pakistan Security Forces killed more than 71 terrorists during Operation Shaban and related operations in Balochistan over the last 96 hours, recovering substantial weapons and explosives.
Intelligence agencies launched these operations following reports of militant hideouts in Quetta district, targeting what the state identifies as Indian-sponsored Fitna Al-Khawarij and Fitna Al-Hindustan groups that posed threats to local populations.
Security Forces engaged a hideout in District Nushki on September 25, killing 11 terrorists, while a separate operation in Mand neutralized six militants and recovered heavy weaponry.
The counter-terrorism campaign operating under the 'Azm-e-Istehkam' vision, approved by the Federal Apex Committee, will continue with full resolve as officials pledge to eliminate foreign-supported terrorism.
According to ACLED data, terrorism incidents in Pakistan rose to 2,425 in 2025, while officials maintain that the Afghan Taliban regime's alleged failure to curb cross-border activities threatens regional stability.
