Security forces carried out a swift and decisive operation in Mangochar, Balochistan, eliminating three Fitna-al-Hindustan personnel belonging to the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), officials confirmed on Sunday. According to sources, the action was conducted on precise intelligence reports regarding the movement of armed BLA personnel in the area. During the encounter, two Fitna-al-Hindustan operatives were neutralised on the spot, while a third was gunned down as he attempted to escape on a motorcycle.
In their hurried retreat, the remaining BLA elements abandoned the bodies of their fallen associates, leaving them behind on the battlefield. Officials described this as a clear sign of disarray within the group following sustained counter-insurgency operations.
The security apparatus termed the operation a significant success, stressing that the action had dealt a fresh blow to networks engaged in subversive activities. The bodies of the slain operatives were shifted for identification, while security forces launched a thorough search operation in surrounding areas to ensure no residual threat remained. Officials reiterated that operations against hostile networks will continue across the province with full intensity, reaffirming that peace and stability in Balochistan remain the foremost priority.
