Security Forces have stepped up efforts to dismantle the operational infrastructure of Fitna al-Hindustan (FAH) across Balochistan, destroying a terrorist hideout in Gwadar, recovering explosives and communication equipment, and apprehending an active group member in Dalbandin.
The developments came amid continuing operations under Operation Rad-ul-Fitna III, which have also dealt a significant blow to the group’s presence in Nushki, where six FAH terrorists, including commander Bichkand, were eliminated.
In Gwadar, Security Forces destroyed a terrorist hideout and recovered explosives, an improvised explosive device (IED), a vehicle and communication equipment. The seizure of these materials is significant because such resources can support terrorist logistics, communication and attack preparations. The precise operational purpose of the recovered equipment, however, has not been disclosed.
In Dalbandin, security personnel apprehended an active FAH member during routine patrolling, adding another dimension to the ongoing campaign against the group’s personnel and support network.
The developments indicate that Operation Rad-ul-Fitna III is not limited to direct engagements with armed terrorists. It also focuses on disrupting the infrastructure, logistical resources and networks that enable terrorist organizations to sustain their activities.
The simultaneous pressure across Nushki, Gwadar and Dalbandin reflects the continuing reach of counterterrorism operations in Balochistan. Security Forces remain engaged in the campaign, with operations continuing to track down remaining terrorists and dismantle their networks.
