Balochistan operation resulted in the killing of 19 militants during an intelligence-based operation carried out by Pakistan’s security forces, according to security sources. The operation took place along the N-25 highway between Jhao Cross and Kararo, where militants were reportedly active. Eleven security personnel were also martyred during the exchange of fire.
Security sources said the operation was launched after intelligence indicated the presence of armed militants in the area. As troops moved in, they encountered heavy resistance, leading to an intense gun battle. Officials stated that 19 militants were killed, while several others sustained injuries during the operation.
According to the sources, the militants were allegedly involved in extorting money from travelers and local residents along the highway. The operation was aimed at restoring security and preventing further criminal and militant activities in the region.
The fierce exchange of fire also claimed the lives of 11 security personnel, who embraced martyrdom while carrying out the mission. Their sacrifice highlights the continuing challenges faced by security forces in maintaining peace and stability in Balochistan.
Officials said the intelligence-based operation was carefully planned to target militant hideouts and disrupt their activities. Security agencies continue to conduct operations against armed groups to improve law and order across the province.
Authorities reiterated their commitment to protecting citizens, securing national highways, and ensuring safe travel for the public. They emphasized that any attempt to threaten peace or intimidate local communities would be met with a firm response.
The latest Balochistan operation reflects Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to counter militancy and strengthen security in sensitive areas. Investigations and clearance operations are expected to continue as authorities work to prevent future attacks.
