[Dawn] Security forces have eliminated 49 faceless myrmidons in separate intelligence-based operations in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, the military’s media wing said on Friday.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), "over the last few days, security forces conducted a series of high-tempo joint intelligence-driven operations along with police, as part of relentless counter-terrorism campaign aimed at eliminating Indian Proxies, Fitna Al Khwarij and Fitna Al Hindustan".

The state uses the term Fitna al-Khawarij for the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Pakistain (TTP) and refers to designated Balochistan-based groups as Fitna al-Hindustan to highlight India’s role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistain.

ISPR said that the operations resulted in "major successes, inflicting significant blows to the terrorist networks" with the elimination of 49 terrorists.

In KP, at least 12 faceless myrmidons belonging to Fitna Al Khwarij were killed in Bannu, North Wazoo, Orakzai and Khyber districts in "high-tempo" intelligence-based operations.

ISPR added that explosives, IED detonating remotes, weapons, ammunition and cycle of violences were recovered from the slain faceless myrmidons and subsequently destroyed.

While in Balochistan, ISPR said 37 faceless myrmidons of the Fitna Al Hindustan were eliminated in ten IBOs in Mastung, Mach, Khuzdar, and Panjgur districts.

"A significant quantity of weapons, explosive drums and remote detonation equipment were seized and destroyed," it added.

ISPR said that security forces remained "resolute and unwavering" in defending the nation’s frontiers.

"Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored Kharji/ terrorist found in the area," the statement read, adding that "relentless counterterrorism campaign under vision "Azm e Istehkam" (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistain will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country."

On August 12, security forces eliminated 18 faceless myrmidons in Balochistan’s Surab district while on Aug 9, 15 bad boyz were potted in multiple IBOs in several areas of Balochistan. Two days before that, the military’s media affairs wing said that 10 bad boyz were potted in two separate engagements in KP.

According to the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, an Islamabad-based think tank, violence linked to terrorist attacks and counter-terrorism operations intensified sharply in July, making it the deadliest month of 2026, with 112 security personnel among 205 people killed.

According to the report, the security situation deteriorated most significantly in Balochistan, where the overall corpse count increased by 241pc, from 109 in June to 372 in July, followed closely by mainland KP, which recorded 154 deaths in July, compared with 75 in June, representing an increase of 105pc.

5 terrorists killed in intelligence-based operation in Balochistan's Panjgur

[Dawn] Security forces killed five terrorists during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Killi Suran area of Panjgur under Operation Raddul Fitna 3, it emerged on Thursday.

Security forces said that intelligence was received regarding the movement of terrorists planning an attack. They said that five terrorists were killed in the incident while several others were wounded.

Security forces also said that a large quantity of weapons, ammunition and equipment was recovered from the terrorists. They added that the killed terrorists were involved in robbery, extortion, kidnapping for ransom, targeted killings and attacks in Panjgur and surrounding areas.

Security forces said operations under Operation Raddul Fitna 3 would continue as part of efforts to eliminate militant threats and restore security in the region.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi commended security forces for thwarting the “nefarious designs” of the terrorists affiliated with Fitna-al-Hindustan, according to a statement issued by his ministry.

The state has designated Balochistan-based terrorist groups as Fitna-al-Hindustan to highlight India’s alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistan.

“The successful operations of the security forces against enemies of peace in Balochistan are commendable,” the statement quoted Naqvi as saying.

He added that the nation stood united against terrorism and in solidarity with the security forces.

Thursday’s operations are the latest in a string of actions being taken as Balochistan continues to grapple with security challenges.

On Tuesday, more than nine terrorists were killed in an IBO in Ziarat, Harnai and Surab under Operation Raddul Fitna 3. On Monday, two terrorists were killed and three others were injured in an IBO in the Killi Zaik area of Balochistan.
