13 Indian-backed terrorists killed in Balochistan operations: ISPR

Rawalpindi: Security forces eliminated 13 terrorists belonging to Indian proxies — Fitna al Khwarij and Fitna al Hindustan — during two separate intelligence-based operations in Balochistan on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Inter-Services Public Relations reported.

According to ISPR, an IBO was conducted in Quetta District following confirmed reports of terrorist presence. “During the operation, own troops effectively engaged the Khwarij hideout and, after an intense exchange of fire, 10 India-sponsored Khwarij were sent to hell,” the statement read.

In another IBO in Kech District, security forces raided a terrorist hideout and neutralised three India-sponsored terrorists belonging to Fitna al Hindustan. A cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was recovered from the slain terrorists, who had been actively involved in numerous terrorist activities.

Security forces of Pakistan remain determined to eliminate the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from "our soil and are committed to bringing all perpetrators and their facilitators to justice,” stated the ISPR.

Meanwhile security forces launched another IBO in Khuzdar District on Wednesday, targeting terrorists linked to the Indian proxy network Fitna al Hindustan. “During the operation, four terrorists attempting to flee cowardly by disguising themselves in women’s attire were apprehended. Weapons and ammunition were also seized from their possession,” ISPR stated.

A sanitisation operation is underway to clear the area and ensure no other terrorists remain. The military media wing concluded that Pakistan’s security forces will continue to pursue and neutralise all threats to national peace and stability.
