Pakistan anti-terror operations in Balochistan

Overview

On 23 July 2026, Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir pledged to keep fighting militant groups in Balochistan, specifically naming the Fitna al Khawarij and Fitna al Hindustan networks and warning that foreign-backed proxies would be defeated. He linked the campaign to broader development efforts in the province and urged civil-society support.

The following day, 24 July 2026, security forces launched Operation Al Azm in Mastung district, killing four militants in a raid and reporting a total of at least 13 terror fighters killed in recent actions. The operation targeted alleged Indian-backed elements of Fitna al Hindustan, seized weapons and explosives, and included arrests of suspected facilitators. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif cited Indian involvement and called for national unity, underscoring the shift from the earlier pledge to concrete kinetic actions.

By 21 August 2026, Field Marshal Munir met with Balochistan political leaders to discuss regional stability and economic growth. He reiterated his accusations against foreign-sponsored proxies, specifically Fitna al Khawarij and Fitna al Hindustan, claiming they attempt to destabilize the province and create division between the state and its citizens. Munir emphasized that efforts to obstruct development would face a “resolute and decisive response” and called for empowering the youth to counter hostile propaganda.
