Pakistan’s security forces successfully detected and neutralized three armed terrorists during an intelligence-driven operation near the Sami Wing Headquarters in Kech District on 18 February 2026, preventing a potentially devastating attack on a critical security installation.
According to official sources, security personnel identified suspicious movement of multiple individuals in the vicinity of the headquarters. Upon verification, the suspects engaged security forces in an intense exchange of fire. The terrorists, later confirmed to be members of the extremist group “BLA Fitna Al Hindustan,” were eliminated during the operation.
No civilians or security personnel sustained injuries during the engagement. Authorities have initiated a comprehensive clearance and search operation to locate any remaining suspects and ensure the complete security of the installation.
This operation highlights the ongoing threats posed by terrorist organizations targeting state institutions and security forces in sensitive regions of Balochistan. It also reflects the effectiveness of intelligence-led counterterrorism operations in detecting and neutralizing threats before they can materialize.
Security agencies are continuing efforts to monitor, track, and dismantle terrorist networks in the region. These operations involve enhanced surveillance, close coordination between military and law enforcement, and proactive engagement with local communities to prevent extremist infiltration and recruitment.
The government urges all citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Community cooperation remains a critical component of national security and the broader effort to maintain peace and stability in the region.
Pakistan reiterates its steadfast commitment to eradicating terrorism in all its forms, safeguarding the lives of its citizens, and ensuring the security of strategic installations throughout the country.
