Security forces killed seven militants in an intelligence-based operation in Kharan, recovering weapons, ammunition and vehicles from militant hideouts.
KHARAN: Security forces have killed seven militants during an intelligence-based operation in Balochistan’s Kharan district, dealing a major blow to a militant network accused of carrying out serious criminal and terrorist activities in the region.
According to security sources, the operation was conducted in the Lajay area after intelligence reports indicated the presence of militants at suspected hideouts. Seven militants associated with Fitna al-Khawarij were killed, while several others were reportedly wounded.
Following the operation, security personnel carried out a detailed search of the militant positions. A large quantity of modern weapons, ammunition and other military equipment was recovered, along with a motorcycle and two vehicles.
The suspected hideouts were subsequently destroyed, according to security sources, as part of efforts to dismantle the network’s operational infrastructure.
Officials said the militants were allegedly involved in extortion, kidnapping and target killings. They were also accused of planning suicide attacks, activities that posed a significant security threat to local communities and security personnel.
The operation was conducted under Operation Radd-ul-Fitna 3, through which security forces have been carrying out intelligence-based actions against militant networks in different parts of the country.
Intelligence-led operations are intended to identify militant concentrations, disrupt their logistical networks and prevent planned attacks before they can be executed.
