Pakistan Military Says 48 Militants Killed in Multiple Raids in Southwest

The military said the raids targeted outlawed groups and recovered a cache of weapons as violence surged in Pakistan.

  • On Friday, Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations reported that security forces killed 48 militants in Balochistan over the last 72 hours, describing them as "Indian-sponsored terrorists."
  • The military described those killed as "Khawarij," a term the government applies to outlawed groups including the Baloch Liberation Army and the TTP, which have led a long-standing separatist insurgency in Balochistan.
  • Security forces conducted intelligence-based operations in Mastung, Quetta, Kalat, and Sibi; near Shaban, troops identified four hideouts and killed 26 militants, while additional raids neutralized insurgents in Bhag and Kalat.
  • Troops are conducting sanitization operations to secure the area and recover weapons as the counter-terrorism campaign under "Azm e Istehkam" continues at full pace to eliminate foreign-sponsored terrorism.
  • Militant violence has surged in Pakistan, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan accounting for nearly 96% of all violence-related fatalities, while Balochistan recorded 94 incidents representing 35% of the nationwide total.
