At least 14 terrorists linked to Indian proxy Fitna al-Hindustan were killed during an operation in the Zehri area of Balochistan’s Khuzdar, reports quoting security sources said Saturday.

 

According to reports, the operation was carried out on intelligence regarding the presence of said terrorists in the area, resulting in the killing of at least 14 whereas 20 others were injured.

 

Residents of Zehri praised the operation, acknowledging the efforts of the security forces in restoring peace and stability in the region.

 

Reports said that security forces remained fully committed to eliminating the remaining militants of the organisation. 

 

The Zehri operation comes days after security forces killed seven India-sponsored terrorists in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted in the Sherani district of Balochistan.

 

According to the military’s media wing, security forces conducted an IBO on the reported presence of terrorists belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al Khwarij — the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

 

“During the operation, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location, and after an intense fire exchange, seven Indian-sponsored terrorists were sent to hell,” the military said in a statement.

 

Pakistan has witnessed an alarming 46% surge in overall violence in the third quarter (Q3) of 2025, data from the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) has shown.

 

The country reported at least 901 fatalities and 599 injuries, including civilians, security personnel and terrorists, in a total of 329 incidents of violence, which also included terror attacks and counter-terror ops.
