QUETTA (Dunya News) – Security forces carried out a large-scale operation against the militant group, Fitna al-Hindustan, in the Zahri area of Khuzdar, resulting in the killing of seven terrorists and injuries to ten others.
The operation followed precise intelligence reports about the group’s presence and movements in the surrounding mountains, where they had been intimidating local residents.
According to security sources, actionable intelligence indicated that the network was expanding activities in the region. With the rise in militant incidents, forces initiated an operation supported by ground troops and helicopters.
