Two Soldiers Martyred, 12 Indian-Sponsored Terrorists Killed in KP and Balochistan Counter-Terror Ops

In a series of high-stakes counter-terrorism operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan, Pakistan's security forces neutralized 12 Indian-sponsored terrorists, while two brave soldiers embraced martyrdom, the military’s media wing ISPR confirmed on Monday.

These coordinated missions were part of a broader crackdown on Indian proxies, with a clear message: Pakistan will not allow its soil to be destabilized by foreign-sponsored insurgents.

Details of the Security Forces' Operations

The intelligence-based operations (IBOs) were launched following actionable intelligence regarding the presence of terrorists aligned with the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF)—both allegedly operating as Indian proxies.

✔️ In KP:

• Lakki Marwat District: Five Fitna Al Khwarij militants—India-backed extremists—were eliminated.

• Bannu District: Two terrorists were killed in a swift engagement.

• Mir Ali, North Waziristan: After a convoy ambush by militants, two more terrorists were shot down.

However, two valiant soldiers, Sepoy Farhad Ali Turi (29) and Lance Naik Sabir Afridi (32), lost their lives in the line of duty, fighting heroically during the operation.

“Their sacrifices strengthen our resolve to eliminate terrorism,” said the ISPR statement, emphasizing the security forces’ unwavering commitment to eradicating the threat from Indian proxies.

✔️ In Balochistan:

Security forces continued their crackdown on Indian-sponsored terrorism in two key areas:

• Awaran District (Gishkur): An IBO led to the elimination of BLF terrorist Younas, while two others were injured.

• Turbat City, Kech District: A separate engagement resulted in the deaths of BLF ringleader Sabr Ullah and his associate Amjad alias Bichoo.

These terrorists killed were allegedly involved in target killings of civilians, attacks on Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), and anti-state activities.

Weapons, explosives, and ammunition were recovered in both operations—further evidence of foreign-sponsored subversion in Pakistan.

🔍 Background: Who Are "Fitna Al Khwarij" and the BLF?

The term Fitna Al Khwarij, often used by the Pakistani state, refers to extremist elements of the TTP, now viewed as Indian proxies. These militants have long targeted security installations and civilians, operating from sanctuaries across the Afghan border.

The BLF, meanwhile, has received global attention for its violent separatist agenda in Balochistan. Intelligence sources claim Indian intelligence agencies have been supporting such groups to destabilize Pakistan.
