Security forces have killed twelve terrorists belonging to the Indian-backed militant network Fitna al Hindustan and arrested another in an intelligence-based operation conducted in the Hasan Laloo area of Qalat. According to security sources, the operation was launched after credible intelligence pinpointed a terrorist hideout in the locality.
During the operation, terrorists opened fire on the approaching troops, prompting a swift and effective retaliation by security forces. Following an intense exchange of fire, twelve terrorists were eliminated, while one terrorist was injured and taken into custody. The arrested militant is reported to be providing valuable information to investigators.
Security forces have taken possession of the bodies of the slain terrorists and recovered a significant quantity of weapons, ammunition and other military equipment from the hideout. The recovery indicates the group’s preparedness for major acts of violence in the region.
Sources added that the operation in the area is still underway as security forces conduct a thorough sanitisation to clear the region of any remaining militants linked to the Indian-sponsored outfit. The successful action marks another major step in the ongoing nationwide counterterrorism campaign aimed at dismantling foreign-backed networks and restoring long-term peace and stability.
