QUETTA : Security forces have killed up to 10 terrorists and wounded several others, including a key commander, during a large-scale search-and-sanitization operation under Operation Radd al-Fitnah 3 on the outskirts of Quetta.
According to official sources, the operation was carried out in the Kambela and Asimabad areas, where troops successfully cleared a sprawling 68-square-kilometer zone. During the intense engagement, 8 to 10 terrorists were neutralized, with the bodies of two slain militants recovered so far. Additionally, 3 to 4 terrorists sustained injuries, notably including the identified terrorist commander Shaukat Mama.
Security forces also took 12 suspects into custody for further questioning. The operation led to the complete elimination of multiple terrorist safe havens in the region, and authorities confirmed that flags belonging to Fitna-ul-Hindustan were removed from the area.
In a post-operation statement, security forces reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to the mission, vowing that Operation Radd al-Fitnah 3 will continue with full force until the complete elimination of terrorism from the region.
