Security forces in Balochistan conducted a successful operation in the Qalat region, killing 12 militants described as “Indian-sponsored terrorists.” According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the raid targeted a terrorist hideout, and weapons, ammunition, and explosive materials were recovered from the site.

The ISPR added that those killed were involved in multiple deadly militant attacks and that clearance operations will continue until all foreign-backed terror networks in the area are dismantled.

The government of Pakistan and the prime minister lauded the action, stating that the nation stands united against terrorism and applauding security forces for their resolve.
