The Counter-Terrorism Department killed 14 suspected militants linked to a banned outfit in intelligence-based operations targeting threats to strategic corridors and development projects.
- The Balochistan Counter-Terrorism Department reported on Wednesday that 14 suspected militants were killed in separate operations in Quetta’s Darakshan area and Barkhan district.

- In recent clashes, military media said around 206 militants were killed, while last month at least 15 security officials and 18 civilians died in coordinated attacks across Balochistan province.
