RAWALPINDI — Pakistan’s security forces killed seven terrorists linked to Indian sponsored terrorism in two intelligence-based operations in Balochistan. The military’s media wing, ISPR, confirmed the details on Tuesday.
According to the press release, the first operation took place in the Mach area of Kachhi district. Security forces launched the raid after receiving credible intelligence about the presence of Fitna al-Hindustan militants.
During the operation, Pakistani troops targeted the location effectively. A fierce exchange of fire followed. In the end, five militants backed by India were killed.
The second operation occurred in the Margand region of Kalat district. In this raid, security forces discovered a terrorist hideout. Two more militants linked to Indian sponsored terrorism were eliminated.
ISPR stated that weapons, ammunition, and explosives were recovered from the terrorists. These elements were involved in multiple attacks across Balochistan.
Pakistan’s military vowed to continue the fight. “Our forces remain committed to rooting out Indian sponsored terrorism and bringing all collaborators to justice,” the statement said.
The government holds the Indian-backed group Fitna al-Hindustan responsible for many recent acts of violence. These include the tragic school bus bombing in Khuzdar last month.
In that attack, a blast near Zero Point targeted a school vehicle. It killed five people on the spot, including three young students. Many others were injured. The incident shocked the nation and drew worldwide condemnation.
Tensions between Pakistan and India, both nuclear-armed neighbors, have worsened since the Khuzdar bombing.
Interior Secretary Captain (retd) Khurram Muhammad Agha warned on May 23 that Pakistan would respond decisively. He made it clear that those involved in Indian backed terrorism would fail in their mission.
Pakistan has sent a strong message. Any threat linked to India-backed militancy will be met with full force. The security apparatus remains alert and determined.
