In a major development, security forces in Balochistan successfully neutralized two Khawarij militants during intelligence-based operations (IBOs). The operations, carried out in the Makran and Panjgur districts, also led to the arrest of five militants who were involved in terror activities. According to security sources, the militants were part of a banned outfit responsible for orchestrating several attacks on civilians and law enforcement personnel.
The IBOs were conducted in response to actionable intelligence gathered over weeks. The militants killed in the operation were allegedly involved in extortion, kidnapping for ransom, and attacks on security convoys. The arrested individuals are now in custody, and investigations are underway to uncover their network and plans for future operations.
This action is part of the military’s ongoing efforts to root out terrorism in Balochistan, a province plagued by insurgency and militancy. The region has witnessed an uptick in such operations aimed at neutralizing threats posed by various militant groups, especially the Khawarij factions that oppose the state’s rule.
