Khuzdar: At least seven militants were killed and 10 others injured in an ongoing security operation in the Zahri area of Khuzdar district, security sources confirmed.

According to officials, the operation was launched on intelligence reports about the presence and movement of the militant group Fitna al-Hindustan in the surrounding mountains of Zahri. The group had reportedly been intimidating local residents.

Security sources said a large number of ground forces and helicopters were deployed in the operation. So far, seven militants of Fitna al-Hindustan have been killed and 10 others injured.

Recovered from the slain militants were prepared IEDs, transmitters, US-made automatic weapons, grenades, ammunition, and motorcycles.

They added that operations will continue in Zahri and across Balochistan until the network of Fitna al-Hindustan, allegedly backed by India, is fully eliminated.
