ISLAMABAD<\/strong>: Nine India-sponsored terrorists were killed in two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Balochistan\u2019s Kachhi and Wadh districts, the military\u2019s media wing said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that on October 26, security forces conducted IBOs in the districts on the reported presence of terrorists belonging to Fitna al-Hindustan.<\/em><\/p>\n

The state has designated Balochistan-based terrorist groups as Fitna al-Hindustan<\/em> to highlight India\u2019s alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistan.<\/p>\n

In the first operation in Kachhi, a terrorist hideout was destroyed and seven terrorists were eliminated in an exchange of fire.<\/p>\n

Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists, the statement added.<\/p>\n

In Wadh, security forces \u201ctracked and intercepted terrorist movement\u201d and killed two terrorists in an exchange of fire.<\/p>\n

Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists, the statement added.<\/p>\n

\u201cSanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other India-sponsored terrorist found in the area,\u201d the statement read, adding that a relentless counterterrorism campaign under the vision \u201cAzm e Istehkam\u201d<\/em> will continue at full pace to \u201cwipe out [the] menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement on X, President Asif Ali Zardari paid tribute to security forces and commended their \u201cprofessional\u201d capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cConspiracies of terrorists\u2019 foreign patrons and their local facilitators will be thwarted,\u201d he said. \u201cThe nation stands shoulder to shoulder with its security forces and law enforcement agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also paid tribute to the security forces, saying that terrorists seeking to undermine Pakistan\u2019s security and peace would \u201cnever succeed in their nefarious designs\u201d, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe efforts of the security forces and law enforcement agencies to completely eliminate terrorism and establish lasting peace in the country were commendable,\u201d APP<\/em> quoted the premier as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said that he, along with the entire nation, stood shoulder to shoulder with the security forces in their unwavering resolve to eliminate terrorism from the country,\u201d APP<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Intensified operations<\/h2>\n

Balochistan has witnessed an increase in terrorist activities in recent years, prompting security forces to intensify counter-terrorism operations.<\/p>\n

On Oct 18, an army major was martyred, and four terrorists were killed during multiple IBOs in Balochistan. A day before that, security forces killed eight \u201cIndia-sponsored\u201d terrorists during IBOs conducted in the Quetta, Nushki and Khuzdar districts of Balochistan.<\/p>\n

On the night of Oct 12\/13, security forces busted a terrorist hideout and killed five terrorists during an IBO in Washuk, ISPR said.<\/p>\n

Days later, Balochistan government officials said that six terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), two would-be female suicide bombers, and two commanders of a banned organisation had been arrested during IBOs across the province.<\/p>\n

They said around 90 arrested terrorists were being held at a centre where investigations and legal proceedings were under way.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, five terrorists were eliminated in Balochistan\u2019s Mastung district, state media reported.<\/p>\n

According to Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), terrorist violence increased substantially in Sept with 225 attacks recorded nationwide, compared with 199 in August, representing a 13.1 per cent increase and the highest monthly total recorded in 12 years, with Balochistan remaining the \u201cprincipal theatre\u201d with 131 attacks, accounting for 58.2pc of the national total.<\/p>\n

On counterterrorism, the report noted that security forces conducted 74 operations, killing 280 terrorists. Out of this, Balochistan accounted for 35 operations and 171 terrorist deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
