Overview
- The military reported that an intelligence‑based operation in Razmak, North Waziristan, killed five militants and that Major Hafiz Ehsan (Ihsan) Elahi was martyred while leading his troops, the action occurring on Saturday.
- A separate intelligence raid in Noshki, Balochistan, killed seven militants, including a suicide bomber, and resulted in the destruction or seizure of weapons, ammunition and improvised explosive devices.
- Taken together, ISPR and multiple outlets said Pakistan’s security forces neutralised 12 militants across the two operations and launched sanitisation and clearance missions at both sites.
- Senior officials, including the president and prime minister, paid tribute to the fallen major and the military framed the raids as part of its Azm‑e‑Istehkam National Action Plan to disrupt foreign‑backed networks.
- The military specifically labelled the groups Fitna al‑Khawarij and Fitna al‑Hindustan as Indian‑sponsored but independent, publicly available verification of those sponsorship claims is limited in the cited reporting.
