Overview
- ISPR said an intelligence-based operation on December 26 in Panjgur killed four militants it described as part of an Indian proxy called Fitna al Khwarij.
- Following the exchange of fire in Panjgur, forces carried out a sanitisation sweep and reported seizing weapons, ammunition and explosives.
- ISPR earlier reported two IBOs on December 24–25 that killed five militants in Kohlu and eight in Kalat, with additional arms and explosives recovered.
- The recent Balochistan operations bring the reported toll to at least 17 militants over three days, according to ISPR statements.
- The military presented the raids as part of a sustained counterterrorism drive as reports note rising attacks since 2021 and Pakistan's calls for Kabul to curb groups using Afghan soil.
