Over the past few days, security forces have killed more than 70 terrorists belonging to *Fitna-ul-Khawarij* and *Fitna-ul-Hind* during intelligence-based operations across various areas of Balochistan.
According to the Pakistan Army’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), intelligence agencies identified hideouts belonging to *Fitna-ul-Khawarij* and *Fitna-ul-Hind* in the Shaban area of Balochistan.
ISPR stated that acting on intelligence reports, security forces conducted an operation in Ziarat and its surrounding areas on September 21. Engaging the terrorists, the forces cleared multiple hideouts; following an intense exchange of fire, 33 terrorists were killed. These *Khawarij* elements had become a threat to the local population.
Additionally, on September 25, forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in Nushki, targeting terrorist hideouts. Eleven terrorists operating under Indian patronage were killed in the operation. Security forces also killed six terrorists associated with *Fitna-ul-Hind* in Mand, recovering a large quantity of weapons and ammunition during the action.
According to ISPR, over 70 terrorists have been killed in the last 96 hours, dealing a severe blow to Indian-backed Afghan proxies. The involvement of the Afghan Taliban regime in terrorism poses a threat to peace; these groups receive backing and full support from India. The ISPR further stated that the counter-terrorism campaign will continue under the ‘Azm-e-Istehkam’ vision, and that security forces and law enforcement agencies remain committed to eradicating terrorism.
