Four terrorists linked to the Indian proxy network Fitna al Hindustan were killed by security forces during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Khuzdar district.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was conducted on September 17 following reports of the terrorists’ presence in the area. During an intense exchange of fire, security forces successfully engaged the hideout, killing the militants on the spot.
Weapons, ammunition, and explosives were recovered from their possession. ISPR stated that the killed terrorists were actively involved in multiple terrorist activities in the region.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi paid tribute to the security forces for their successful operation against terrorists in Khuzdar, praising their professional capabilities in eliminating four militants.
He noted that the security forces’ ongoing operations in Balochistan are commendable efforts aimed at restoring lasting peace in the province. “The nation stands shoulder to shoulder with the security forces,” Mohsin Naqvi added.
A sanitization operation is currently underway to clear the area of any remaining threats. The military reaffirmed its determination to eliminate Indian-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan and vowed to bring all perpetrators of such acts to justice.

A day earlier, security forces had eliminated five terrorists linked to the Indian proxy network Fitna al Hindustan during another operation in Khuzdar district.
The Khuzdar operation follows a series of major counter-terrorism actions across the country in recent days.
Before this, security forces eliminated 31 terrorists associated with the Indian-sponsored Fitna al Khwarij network in Lakki Marwat and Bannu districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Those operations came on the heels of a wider campaign in which 45 militants were killed and 19 soldiers martyred in Bajaur, South Waziristan, and Lower Dir.
These successive operations underscore Pakistan’s intensified campaign against militant groups, with the ISPR repeatedly highlighting the role of Indian proxies and the involvement of Afghan soil in recent attacks. The military has stressed that its resolve remains firm to eradicate terrorism and restore lasting peace in the region.
