Five terrorists were killed in an intelligence‑based operation (IBO) conducted by security forces in Pishin district of Balochistan, the Inter‑Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Monday.
According to an ISPR statement, troops engaged the group after receiving actionable intelligence about their presence. During the operation, an intense exchange of fire took place, and a suspected suicide bomber detonated explosive, killing himself. Four other militants were subsequently engaged and killed by security forces.
Weapons, ammunition and explosive materials were recovered from the site, the military added, noting that the eliminated militants were involved in ongoing terrorist activities in the area.
Sanitization operations were underway to locate any remaining suspects in the vicinity. The ISPR reaffirmed that the counter‑terrorism campaign under “Azm e Istehkam” will continue at full pace to dismantle foreign‑sponsored and supported terrorism across the country.
The operation in Pishin comes amid heightened security activity in Balochistan following a series of militant incidents earlier this month, which prompted nationwide enforcement actions.
