Security forces have successfully foiled an Indian-sponsored terrorist attempt in Gwadar, killing 10 terrorists, including a female attacker, during clearance operations conducted at the Gabd border crossing and various locations across the city, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The timely response by security forces prevented the hostile attempt from achieving its objectives and helped restore peace and order in the affected areas. Following the incidents, comprehensive clearance operations were launched to eliminate the remaining threats and ensure the safety of local residents. These operations resulted in the killing of 10 terrorists, including a female attacker.
According to ISPR, the terrorist incidents claimed the life of one civilian, while several vehicles sustained damage. No casualties were reported among security personnel during the operations.
Clearance Operations Completed, Security Situation Restored
ISPR confirmed that clearance operations in Gwadar have been completed and that peace, order, and the writ of the state have been restored throughout the affected areas. The swift and coordinated response demonstrated the readiness of security forces to counter emerging threats and prevent hostile elements from undermining the security and stability of Balochistan.
The attempted attacks targeted the people of Balochistan and sought to disrupt the province’s development, prosperity, and economic progress. However, the effective response by security forces thwarted the terrorists’ designs and reaffirmed the resolve of the state to protect its citizens and preserve stability across the province.
Use of a Baloch Woman for Terrorist Activities Condemned
In its statement, ISPR strongly condemned the use of a Baloch woman in terrorist activities, describing it as an act that violates the dignity and honour of Baloch women. The statement highlighted concerns over the exploitation of women by terrorist elements to advance their violent objectives and promote misleading propaganda.
ISPR further emphasized that the people of Balochistan have consistently rejected those who seek to perpetrate violence in their name. The statement underscored the distinction between the aspirations of the people of Balochistan for peace, security, and development and the destructive agenda pursued by terrorist groups.
Counterterrorism Campaign to Continue Under Vision Azm-e-Istehkam
Reaffirming the state’s commitment to eliminating terrorism, ISPR stated that the counterterrorism campaign would continue with full momentum under Vision Azm-e-Istehkam, approved by the Federal Apex Committee.

The campaign is aimed at ensuring lasting peace, strengthening public safety, and protecting the lives and property of citizens across the country.
