Pakistan’s security forces have carried out a series of intelligence-based operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, killing 74 suspected militants and recovering a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and explosives, according to the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an ISPR statement, security forces intensified counterterrorism operations across different areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where 43 militants were killed during the past 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The military identified the militants as members of Fitna al-Khawarij and alleged that they were receiving support from India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In North Waziristan’s Mir Ali area, security forces engaged militants in an intense exchange of fire. ISPR reported that 35 militants were killed during the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another intelligence-based operation was conducted in Orakzai district, where eight additional militants were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the military spokesperson, security personnel recovered a significant quantity of firearms, ammunition, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other explosive materials during the operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISPR stated that clearance operations are continuing in Mir Ali and Orakzai to locate any remaining militants and eliminate potential security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, security forces have also been conducting operations in Balochistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ISPR, an intelligence-based operation has been underway since November 3 in the Karam area of Quetta district, where 31 militants have reportedly been killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The military said several militant hideouts were destroyed during these operations, while weapons, ammunition, and explosive materials were recovered from the locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISPR also alleged that the militants targeted in Balochistan were associated with groups receiving Indian support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The military spokesperson emphasized that Pakistan’s counterterrorism campaign would continue under the national initiative Azm-e-Istehkam<\/em>, aimed at strengthening security and eliminating militant networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ISPR, security forces remain committed to carrying out intelligence-based operations and preventing further militant activity across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest operations reflect Pakistan’s continuing efforts to address security challenges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reported death toll, operational details, and allegations of foreign support are based on ISPR’s statement and have not been independently verified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
