Security forces in Balochistan have killed nine terrorists during a series of intelligence-based operations (IBOs) conducted under Operation Radd-ul-Fitna III. The coordinated strikes targeted terrorist hideouts and sanctuaries across the Ziarat, Harnai, and Surab districts.

In the mountainous regions between Ziarat and Harnai, security forces surrounded and destroyed a suspected hideout, killing eight terrorists. A separate operation in the Surab district resulted in the death of one additional terrorist following the establishment of a checkpoint in Hajika village.

During these operations, personnel recovered a significant cache of weapons and equipment, including ammunition, hand grenades, magazines, walkie-talkies, and motorcycles. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the security forces for the successful missions, as authorities continue clearance operations to eliminate remaining threats in the province.
