Pakistan Says 17 Militants Killed in Balochistan Raids, Names Indian ‘Proxy’ in Panjgur

The military’s media wing frames the Dec. 24–26 intelligence-led actions as part of Azm-e-Istehkam targeting foreign-sponsored groups.

Overview

  • Four militants killed in Panjgur on Dec. 26 were identified by the ISPR as members of Fitna al Khwarij, which it described as an Indian proxy.
  • Security forces reported eight militants killed in Kalat on Dec. 24 and five in Kohlu on Dec. 25, bringing the three-day total to 17.
  • The ISPR said the operations were intelligence-based and launched on reported terrorist presence at specific locations.
  • Weapons, ammunition and explosives were recovered from those killed, according to the military statement.
  • Officials said area clearance is ongoing in Panjgur, while authorities link a rise in attacks since 2021 to conditions across the Afghan border.
