Security forces have successfully concluded Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1 in Balochistan under which a series of coordinated, swift, and intelligence-driven operations were conducted against Indian sponsored terrorist elements, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Thursday.
On 29 January 2026, operations were initiated in Panjgur and the outskirts of Harnai District after credible and verified intelligence confirmed the presence of terrorist elements posing an imminent threat to the local public, ISPR read.
During this phase, security forces undertook operations against identified terrorist hideouts, resulting in the elimination of 41 terrorists affiliated with Indian proxy networks, ISPR said. As a result of these well-coordinated engagements and subsequent clearance operations, 216 terrorists have been killed, significantly degrading the leadership, command-and-control structures and operational capabilities of terrorist networks. During these operations, 36 innocent civilians, including women and children, embraced shahadat, while 22 brave security forces and law enforcement agencies’ personnel made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of Pakistan’s territorial integrity and the protection of its citizens.
