Pakistani security forces recently conducted two significant operations against terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. In these operations, four brave soldiers, including Lieutenant Daniyal, were martyred, while eleven Indian-backed terrorists were neutralized. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), these successes further solidify the security forces’ unwavering commitment to eradicating terrorism from the nation.
Infiltration Attempt Foiled in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, security forces successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt. In the Shawal area of North Waziristan, militants attacked a security checkpoint, but Pakistani forces effectively repelled the assault, eliminating six Indian-sponsored foreign terrorists. During the intense exchange of fire, Lieutenant Daniyal, Naib Subedar Kashif Raza, Lance Naik Fiaqat Ali, and Sepoy Muhammad Hameed embraced martyrdom.
Separately, in the Chitral district, another Indian-backed militant was killed during a skirmish with security forces. A clearance operation is currently underway in the area, considering the possibility of more militants being present. The ISPR reiterated that security forces remain determined to eliminate Indian-sponsored terrorism and are resolute in their commitment to safeguarding the nation. The sacrifices of the martyrs, it added, only strengthen the resolve of the armed forces.
Operations Against “Fitna-e-Hind” in Balochistan
Concurrently, five terrorists belonging to the proscribed outfit “Fitna-e-Hind” were killed during two separate operations in Balochistan. The first operation, conducted in Loralai based on intelligence reports, resulted in the death of four terrorists during a heavy exchange of fire with security personnel. According to ISPR, weapons, ammunition, and explosive materials were recovered from the terrorists’ possession at the site.
The slain terrorists were involved in subversive activities carried out on August 26 last year and February 18, 2025. These operations were linked to acts of terrorism on National Highway 70 (N-70), where at least 30 civilians lost their lives. The ISPR confirmed that the deceased terrorists were on the most-wanted list of law enforcement agencies due to their involvement in major terror attacks.
In a second operation in Kech district, security forces neutralized another terrorist associated with the same group. The ISPR reiterated the security forces’ unwavering resolve to eliminate all elements of “Fitna-e-Hind” from Pakistan. It reaffirmed their commitment to bring terrorists and their facilitators to justice through relentless efforts.
