RAWALPIND: Pakistan Army said on Tuesday it killed five terrorists linked to the Indian proxy group Fitna al Hindustan during an intelligence-based operation in Khuzdar district of Balochistan.
According to the Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR), the media affairs wing of the Pakistan Army, the forces launched the overnight raid on September 14–15 after receiving reports of militant presence in the area.
Troops engaged the terrorists in an intense firefight, killing five and recovering weapons, ammunition, and explosives from their hideout.
Officials said the militants were actively involved in multiple terrorist activities across the region. Security forces have since launched a sanitization operation to clear the area of any remaining threats.
“The security forces of Pakistan remain determined to eradicate Indian-sponsored terrorism and bring all perpetrators to justice,” the statement emphasised.

At least six security personnel were also reported injured in the clashes. Authorities immediately imposed an emergency at Civil Hospital Zhob to treat the wounded.
