Islamabad: Security forces have killed 18 terrorists in two separate operations in Balochistan.
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the militants belonged to the Indian proxy. The state designated Balochistan-based groups as terrorists to highlight India's alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistan.
The ISPR stated that an intelligence-based operation (IBO) was conducted in the Chiltan mountain range in Quetta district on the reported presence of terrorists.
'During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists' location, and after an intense fire exchange, 14 Indian-sponsored terrorists were sent to hell,' it said.
The ISPR further stated that another IBO was conducted in Buleda in Kech district, where a hideout was busted and four militants were 'successfully neutralised'.
'Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities,' the ISPR said.
It said that sanitisation operations were being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored terrorist found in the area, adding that the counter-terrorism campaign by security forces and law enforcement agencies would continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and -supported terrorism from the country.
Meanwhile on night 29/30 October 2025, movement of a group of terrorists, who were trying to infiltrate through Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was picked up by the security forces in Bajaur District.
According to the ISPR, own troops effectively engaged and thwarted terrorists' attempt to infiltrate. As a result of precise and skillful engagement, four terrorists including a terrorist leader, a high value target, Kharji Amjad @ Mazahim were killed.
Killed terrorist Commander Amjad, deputy/second to terrorist Noor Wali and head of Rehbari Shura of Indian proxy, was highly wanted by the Law Enforcement Agencies and Government had fixed Head money of PKR five million on him, as he remained actively involved in perpetuating numerous terrorist activities inside Pakistan while residing in Afghanistan.
It is pertinent to highlight that the leadership of terrorists while residing in Afghanistan is orchestrating infiltration attempts into Pakistan - primarily to project an impression of domestic presence and to raise the diminishing morale of their terrorists in Bajaur and Mohmand because of effective operations of security forces.
It is once again reiterated that the Interim Afghan Government must take concrete measures to ensure that Afghan soil is not used by terrorist proxies to perpetrate terrorism against Pakistan. It also validates our stance that Afghan soil is continuously being used as safe heaven by terrorists against Pakistan.
The Security Forces of Pakistan remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation's frontiers.
