KHUZDAR: Security forces in Khuzdar’s Zhery area have launched a special operation against militants of Fitna-al-Hindustan based on intelligence reports, officials confirmed.
According to security sources, intelligence indicated the presence and movement of Fitna-al-Hindustan militants in the surrounding hills of Zhery. The terrorists had also been harassing local residents in the area.
Due to the increasing terrorist activity, security forces initiated the operation as a precautionary measure. The operation involves a large number of ground troops and helicopters to ensure effective containment.
Security sources reported that seven militants of Fitna-al-Hindustan have been killed so far. Additionally, 10 militants have been injured during the ongoing operation.
Weapons and explosives recovered from the deceased militants include IEDs, transmitters, US-made automatic weapons, grenades, ammunition, and motorcycles. Security forces also successfully defused a large IED installed by the militants on the Badukisht main bridge.
Security officials stated that the operation will continue until Fitna-al-Hindustan, involved in destructive activities under India’s influence in Zhery and across Balochistan, is fully neutralized.
