Security forces carried out an intelligence-based operation in the Kalat district of Balochistan on the night of November 1, 2025, following reports of the presence of Fitna al Hindustan militants.
According to ISPR, troops effectively targeted the militants’ hideout, killing four Indian-sponsored terrorists during the exchange of fire. A cache of weapons and ammunition was also recovered from the site.
The slain militants were reportedly involved in multiple acts of terrorism across the region.
Meanwhile, sanitization operations are underway to ensure the area is cleared of any remaining foreign-backed elements. Security forces and law enforcement agencies reaffirmed their commitment to continue the counterterrorism campaign under “Azm-e-Istehkam,” approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, to eradicate the threat of foreign-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan.
The development comes a day after the ISPR said at least three terrorists were killed in two separate encounters in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
