Pakistan’s Security Forces have intensified their counter-terrorism operations across Balochistan, delivering a significant blow to the Indian-sponsored terrorist network, Fitna al Hindustan (FAH), while reaffirming their unwavering commitment to protecting the lives of innocent citizens and safeguarding peace and stability in the province.
Since 13 November 2026, multiple intelligence-based operations (IBOs), alongside area domination and extensive patrolling, have been underway in the general areas of Kolpur, Kardagap and Nushki. Special attention is being accorded to securing the Quetta–Taftan National Highway (N-40), ensuring safe and uninterrupted movement of local traffic while maintaining operational momentum against terrorist elements.
During an intelligence-based operation in the general area of Kolpur on the night of 13/14 November 2026, Security Forces successfully neutralised eight Indian-sponsored terrorists belonging to Fitna al Hindustan (FAH), including a suicide bomber. A substantial cache of weapons and ammunition was also recovered, dealing a significant setback to the terrorists’ operational capabilities and their nefarious designs.
However, in a cowardly attempt to disrupt ongoing counter-terrorism operations, FAH terrorists employed armed quadcopters to target Security Forces’ military vehicles while they were conducting a routine patrol on 14 November 2026. During this terrorist attack, two brave sons of the soil, Major Omer Minhas Nasir, resident of District Chakwal, and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan, resident of Kotli Sattian, embraced Shahadat while gallantly performing their duties in defence of the motherland.
The supreme sacrifice of these valiant personnel stands as a powerful testament to the courage, professionalism and unwavering dedication of Pakistan’s Security Forces. Their blood has further strengthened the nation’s resolve to confront and defeat terrorism in all its manifestations. The nation remains indebted to its martyrs, whose sacrifices represent the highest expression of devotion to Pakistan.
The increasingly desperate resort to armed drones, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other advanced technical means by FAH exposes the evolving and increasingly sophisticated tactics being employed by this terrorist organisation. Backed by India and other hostile intelligence agencies, FAH is attempting to exploit modern technology to target Security Forces and innocent civilians, spread fear and insecurity, disrupt normal life and undermine the sustained efforts of the Government to restore lasting peace and stability in Balochistan.
India’s continued financial, material and technological support to FAH, including the provision of advanced equipment and modern gadgetry, reflects the hostile designs being pursued against Pakistan. Such externally sponsored terrorism will neither intimidate the people of Pakistan nor deter the Security Forces from fulfilling their constitutional responsibility of defending the country. Security Forces remain fully alert, operationally prepared and equipped to counter this evolving threat and will deny terrorist elements any opportunity to establish a foothold or disrupt peace and normalcy.
It is reiterated that the ongoing operations are being conducted with determination and operational precision, with the security and protection of the local population remaining paramount. Clearance operations in the affected areas will continue until the terrorist threat is completely neutralised. The security of vital communication routes, particularly the Quetta–Taftan National Highway (N-40), will remain a key operational priority to ensure the uninterrupted movement and safety of local communities.
The relentless counter-terrorism campaign under the vision of “Azm-e-Istehkam”, as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, will continue with full force, consistency and unwavering resolve. Security Forces, in close coordination with Law Enforcement Agencies, remain committed to dismantling the networks of foreign-sponsored terrorism, eliminating terrorist safe havens and bringing all those involved in facilitating, financing and executing terrorist activities to justice.
No amount of external sponsorship, technological sophistication or cowardly terrorist violence can weaken Pakistan’s national resolve. The Security Forces will continue to pursue the enemies of peace with full determination, and no terrorist group or its external patron will be allowed to undermine Pakistan’s sovereignty, security and stability.
The sacrifices of our Shuhada remain the foundation of our resolve and a solemn reminder that the defence of the motherland comes above all else. Pakistan’s Security Forces stand steadfast, resolute and undeterred in their mission to rid the country of the menace of terrorism and ensure a peaceful, secure and stable future for its people.
