18 security personnel and 23 terrorists killed in clashes in Balochistan, part of ongoing anti-terrorist operations in Pakistan.
At least 18 security personnel and 23 terrorists were killed during clashes between the two sides in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province.
The military said the terrorists were killed in different areas of troubled Balochistan in the last 24 hours.
In one such operation in Harnai district on Saturday (February 1, 2025), national troops effectively engaged the terrorists, killing 11 militants and destroying multiple terrorist hideouts.
Earlier on Friday night, 12 terrorists were killed while security forces successfully thwarted militants' attempt to establish roadblocks in the Mangocher area of Kalat.
“Thus far a total of 23 terrorists have been sent to hell in different operations in Balochistan in the last 24 hours,” the Army said, adding the sanitisation operations will continue until perpetrators and facilitators of the heinous and cowardly act are brought to justice.
The Army said the security forces were determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from not only Balochistan but the entire Pakistan.
However, no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks.
