The military said 12 militants were killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 37 in Balochistan as Pakistan steps up operations against rising violence.

  • On Friday, Pakistani security forces killed 49 militants during intelligence-based operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, targeting networks identified as "Fitna al-Khawarij" and "Fitna al-Hindustan."
  • The operations, part of "Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3," target groups the government alleges operate from sanctuaries in Afghanistan and receive Indian support, accusations both nations deny.
  • Security forces killed 37 militants in Balochistan and 12 in K-P across multiple intelligence-based operations, while seizing a "significant quantity" of weapons, explosive drums, and remote-detonation equipment.
  • Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the forces' "professional expertise," while President Asif Ali Zardari vowed operations would continue until Pakistan is "soon be free of terrorism."
  • According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data project, attacks in Pakistan rose to 2,425 in 2025, prompting the government to intensify counterterrorism efforts under the National Action Plan.
