According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operations were conducted in Mastung, Noshki, Zehri, Khuzdar and Kech districts following a train incident on May 24, 2026.

The statement said the security forces targeted terrorist hideouts, resulting in the deaths of 17 members of the Indian-sponsored Fitna-ul-Hindustan group. Weapons, ammunition, explosives and ready-made improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were recovered from the slain militants.

The ISPR said the terrorists had been involved in multiple sabotage operations in the region.

Clearance and sanitisation operations are ongoing, and operations will continue until the “complete elimination of terrorism” under the National Action Plan approved by the Federal Apex Committee.

Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies remain committed to eliminating terrorism sponsored by foreign countries, the statement added.
