Overview
- State and security sources say an intelligence-based operation in the Badrang area of Awaran killed three militants on Thursday.
- The military described the action as part of Radd‑ul‑Fitna‑3 and said a large quantity of weapons and ammunition was recovered from the site.
- Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the forces and officials said operations will continue, following earlier coordinated IBOs that security sources say killed dozens in K‑P and Balochistan.
- Separate security and CTD reports attribute additional recent neutralisations to operations in Mastung and Pishin, including the reported death of a commander named Naqeeb and an alleged quadcopter strike, though independent on‑the‑ground verification is limited.
- Independent data from ACLED shows attacks in Pakistan rose sharply from 658 in 2022 to 2,425 in 2025, a trend officials cite to justify the high‑tempo counterterror campaign and expanded operations in K‑P and Balochistan.
