Security forces killed eight Indian sponsored terrorists during an intelligence-based operation in the Kalat District of Balochistan, the military’s media affairs wing announced on Thursday.
According to information from the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was launched following intelligence reports regarding the presence of militants allegedly belonging to an organisation identified as “Fitna al Hindustan”.
The ISPR detailed that security personnel effectively engaged the suspects’ location, leading to an intense exchange of fire which resulted in the elimination of the eight individuals. The statement asserted that the deceased were “Indian sponsored terrorists”.
A cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was recovered from the scene. The individuals were said to have been actively involved in numerous militant activities in the area.
Following the engagement, sanitisation operations were initiated to clear the vicinity of any other potential threats. The military affirmed that its relentless counter-terrorism campaign, under the national vision ‘Azm e Istehkam,’ will continue at full pace to eradicate foreign-sponsored terrorism from the country.
