Pakistani forces eliminate 12 militants in Kalat district operation
Security forces in Pakistan's Balochistan province killed 12 militants linked to the Indian-backed group Fitna al Hindustan during an intelligence-driven raid in Kalat.
The Inter-Services Public Relations announced that security forces carried out an intelligence-based operation in Kalat district, Balochistan, on Wednesday, killing 12 militants. The individuals were described as part of Fitna al Hindustan, a terrorist organization the Pakistani government says is backed by India. During the raid, the forces located and neutralised the militants' hideout, also seizing and destroying ammunition and improvised explosive devices.
The statement highlighted that sanitisation measures are continuing to eliminate any further Indian-sponsored operatives in the region. This action is part of the broader "Azm-i-Istehkam" counter-terrorism campaign aimed at eradicating foreign-sponsored terrorism across Pakistan.
