Security forces apprehended four terrorists during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Khuzdar district on Wednesday, according to a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The operation was carried out on reports of the presence of terrorists belonging to the Indian proxy group Fitna-al-Hindustan. The ISPR said the terrorists attempted to escape by disguising themselves in women’s attire but were intercepted.
Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the suspects, who were reportedly involved in multiple terrorist activities in the region. A sanitisation operation is underway to clear the area.
The ISPR reiterated that security forces remain committed to eliminating “Indian-sponsored terrorism” from the country and ensuring perpetrators are brought to justice.
