Pakistan Military Says 48 Militants Killed in Multiple Raids in Southwest

The military said the raids targeted outlawed groups and recovered a cache of weapons as violence surged in Pakistan.

  • On Friday, Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations reported that security forces killed 48 militants in Balochistan over the last 72 hours, describing them as "Indian-sponsored terrorists."
  • The military described those killed as "Khawarij," a term the government uses for outlawed groups including the Baloch Liberation Army and the TTP amid Balochistan's long-standing separatist insurgency.
  • Security forces conducted intelligence-based operations in Mastung, Quetta, Kalat, and Sibi; troops identified four hideouts near Shaban and killed 26 militants, while additional raids neutralized fighters in Bhag and Kalat.
  • Forces are conducting sanitization operations to recover weapons and secure the area, with the counter-terrorism campaign operating under the "Azm e Istehkam" vision to eliminate foreign-sponsored terrorism at full pace.
  • Militant violence has surged in Pakistan, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan accounting for nearly 96% of all violence-related fatalities during the quarter, while Balochistan recorded 94 incidents, or 35% of the nationwide total.
