\nAccording to the military\u2019s media wing, the IBOs were carried out in Quetta and Kech districts between September 30 and October 1 on the reported presence of terrorists. It added that the killed terrorists belonged to \u201cFitna al-Khwarij\u201d and \u201cFitna al-Hindustan\u201d \u2014 terms commonly used for the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), respectively.
\nDuring the conduct of an IBO in Quetta, troops effectively engaged the terrorists\u2019 location, and after an intense fire exchange, 10 Indian-sponsored terrorists were killed, said ISPR. In another IBO conducted in Kech district, a terrorist hideout was busted and three Indian-sponsored terrorists, Fitna al Hindustan, were successfully neutralised. \u201cWeapons, ammunition, and explosives were also recovered from the killed Khwarij and terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities,\u201d read the statement.
\nMoreover, security forces arrested four terrorists, belonging to the Indian proxy, \u201cFitna al Hindustan\u201d, attempting to flee by disguising themselves in women\u2019s attire in the Khuzdar district today. The military\u2019s media wing said that security forces were conducting a sanitisation operation to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area. \u201cThe security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country, and reaffirm the nation\u2019s unwavering resolve to bring the perpetrators of terrorism to justice,\u201d it concluded.
\nThe operations came a day after terrorists carried out a suicide attack near the FC headquarters in the provincial capital, resulting in 11 fatalities.
\nPakistan witnessed a surge in terror incidents by 74% in August, compared to July, as per a report by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS). The Islamabad-based think tank recorded 194 fatalities from militant attacks during the month. Recently, Pakistan, China, Iran, and Russia have also expressed deep concern over the presence of terrorist organisations operating from Afghanistan, including Al-Qaeda, the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), and other similar groups.
\nThe security forces and the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) have been carrying out IBOs across the country as part of the government\u2019s bid to curb the menace of terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
