Web Desk: Security forces killed six suspected terrorists during a targeted intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Panjgur district, the military’s media wing stated.
According to a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations(ISPR), the operation was conducted after intelligence reports identified the presence of armed militants in the area. Acting on credible information, security personnel launched a coordinated raid on multiple suspected hideouts during the night between June 3 and June 4.
The operation resulted in an intense exchange of fire, during which six terrorists were killed. Security officials also recovered a cache of weapons, ammunition, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and a vehicle allegedly used by the militants.
Authorities said the deceased terrorists were believed to have been involved in several terrorists activities and security-related incidents in the region. A follow-up clearance operation is underway to locate and eliminate any remaining threats in the area.
The military reiterated its commitment to continuing intelligence-led operations across the country, emphasizing that security forces and law enforcement agencies remain determined to dismantle terrorists networks and maintain peace and stability.
The latest development follows a series of intelligence-based operations carried out earlier this week in various districts of Balochistan, including Mastung, Nushki, Khuzdar, and Kech, where security forces reportedly neutralized 17 terrorists as part of an intensified counterterrorism campaign.
Pakistan’s security apparatus has recently increased intelligence-driven operations in Balochistan amid ongoing efforts to combat militancy, strengthen law and order, and protect strategic infrastructure across the province.
