Pakistan security forces kill 41 terrorists in operations in Balochistan: ISPR

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations, said on Friday that 41 terrorists were killed in two separate intelligence-based operations in Balochistan on Jan. 29.

“On 29 January 2026, forty-one terrorists belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna al Khwarij and Fitna al Hindustan, were killed in two separate operations in Balochistan,” the ISPR said.

An intelligence-based operation was conducted on the outskirts of Harnai District in response to the reported presence of terrorists. 

During the conduct of the operation, troops effectively engaged the hideout, and after an intense fire exchange, 30 Indian-sponsored terrorists were killed. 

A large cache of ammunition and explosives was also recovered and destroyed on the spot.

Another operation was conducted in Panjgur district, in which a terrorist hideout was destroyed, and 11 Indian-sponsored terrorists were neutralized. 

Looted money recovered 

Besides weapons and ammunition, looted money from a bank robbery in Panjgur on December 15, 2025, was also recovered from the killed terrorists. 

The terrorists were involved in numerous terrorist activities in the past, the statement said.

Sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored terrorist found in the area, the ISPR statement said.

“Relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm e Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,” the ISPR statement concluded.

Fitna al Khwarij and Fitna al Hindustan are terms used by Pakistan for the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan militants, whom it accuses of operating from Afghan soil, backed by India.
