Intelligence-led operation in mountainous terrain targets militant network, injures dozens, officials confirm
Security forces carried out a successful intelligence-based operation in Loralai, killing at least 35 militants linked to the group referred to as “Fitna al-Khawarij,” officials said Friday. Around 25 others were reported injured during the intense firefight in the mountainous Shaban Range.
According to security sources, the operation was launched after credible intelligence reports confirmed a significant militant presence in the rugged area. Following verification, specialized units were deployed to neutralize the threat and secure the المنطقة.
Upon reaching the target location, troops engaged in a heavy exchange of fire with the militants. Officials said the forces effectively eliminated 35 fighters, while several others sustained serious injuries and fled the scene.
The operation is part of an intensified counterterrorism campaign aimed at dismantling extremist networks across Balochistan. Authorities have since cordoned off the المنطقة to ensure no remnants of the group remain active nearby.
Security officials emphasized that a search operation is ongoing to track down escaping militants. The Shaban Range, known for its difficult terrain, has historically provided cover to insurgent groups. However, recent intelligence-driven strategies have significantly reduced their operational capacity.
Officials reiterated their commitment to continuing operations until the region is fully cleared of militant threats.
