Pakistan's security forces have neutralized more than 70 terrorists during large-scale anti-terror operations conducted in Balochistan province over the past 48 hours. The operations were launched in response to coordinated attacks targeting multiple locations across the region, aimed at destabilizing the provincial security apparatus.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Shahid Rind, the assistant to the Balochistan government head for political and media affairs, confirmed that security forces successfully repelled attempts by armed groups to strike various districts. According to reports from Pakistan's "Dawn" newspaper, the "Fitna al-Hindustan" group, which is allegedly linked to India, carried out attacks at 12 different points. During these intense clashes, 10 members of Pakistan's security forces were killed in the line of duty. Sources within the security apparatus further clarified that the total number of terrorists killed in the ongoing operations has reached 88 as forces continue to secure the area.
Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province by land area, has frequently been a focal point for security operations due to its strategic importance and the presence of various militant groups. The province is a critical component of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), making its stability vital for both national and regional economic projects. The Pakistani government has consistently maintained its commitment to eradicating terrorism in the region to ensure the safety of its citizens and the successful implementation of infrastructure developments. Security forces remain on high alert as "clearing operations" continue to ensure the complete neutralization of remaining threats in the affected districts.
