In another intelligence-based operation in the Shaban area of Quetta district, security forces targeted four hideouts associated with Fitna al-Khawarij. The operation resulted in the deaths of 26 militants, according to the military's media wing.
The coordinated actions extended to Kalat, where security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation against a terrorist hideout. Two Indian-sponsored terrorists were killed during the raid, the ISPR said.
In Sibi district's Bagh area, security forces carried out a strong retaliatory operation and killed a further two Indian-sponsored terrorists. The action followed intelligence regarding the presence and activities of militants in the area.
