ZHOB: Frontier Corps North Balochistan killed 25 terrorists belonging to the Indian-sponsored proxy network Fitna Al Khawarij, attempting to infiltrate Balochistan.
According to official sources, the operation was launched following credible intelligence reports indicating the presence of a large group (tashkeel) of Fitna Al Khawarij militants from Afghanistan attempting to infiltrate Zhob, Balochistan. Acting swiftly, Frontier Corps North Balochistan mobilized ground forces to intercept and neutralize the threat.
A fierce gun battle ensued as security forces engaged the infiltrators. During the encounter, 20 to 25 terrorists were killed, while another 8 to 10 militants were successfully encircled. The engagement is being hailed as a major success in Pakistan’s ongoing counterterrorism campaign along its western borders.
“The hunt will continue until the last Khawarij is eliminated,” said a security official.
The group, Fitna Al Khawarij, is part of a broader network of Indian-sponsored proxies aiming to destabilize Pakistan by launching cross-border terror operations. This latest encounter once again highlights India’s alleged involvement in supporting terrorist elements operating from Afghan soil.
Pakistan has repeatedly asked Kabul to stop the Indian proxies from using their soil against Pakistan.
Militants of the Tehrik‑e‑Taliban Pakistan (TTP), after their alliance with Fitna al Hindustan, have intensified operations in Balochistan, conducting attacks on security forces and critical infrastructure.
A recent United Nations report confirms growing coordination between the TTP and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), with both groups reportedly sharing training camps and collaborating on terror attacks against security forces.

In June 2024, Balochistan’s Home Minister revealed that captured TTP commander Nasrullah (“Maulvi Mansoor”) confessed to planning cross-border infiltration with assistance from a BLA guide and linkage with Majeed Brigade leader Bashir Zeb, aiming to sabotage CPEC projects and foster anarchy.
The convergence of ideological separatism with religious militancy in Balochistan signals a dangerous new trend in the region’s security landscape.
