QUETTA, December 25, 2025 – Security forces eliminated eight terrorists in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted in Balochistan’s Kalat district on December 24, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced on Thursday. The militants belonged to the Indian proxy group designated as Fitna al Hindustan, which has been linked to destabilizing activities across Pakistan.
During the operation, troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ hideout, leading to an intense fire exchange that resulted in all eight being sent to hell.

Key Highlights

  • Eight Indian-sponsored terrorists killed in Kalat IBO on December 24
  • Weapons, ammunition, and explosives recovered from the site
  • Terrorists actively involved in multiple attacks in the area
  • Sanitization operation underway to clear any remaining threats
  • Security forces committed to eradicating foreign-sponsored terrorism

Successful Engagement in Balochistan

ISPR stated that the operation was launched based on credible intelligence about the presence of terrorists in the region. The recovered arms and explosives confirm their involvement in recent terrorist activities targeting civilians and security personnel.
A follow-up sanitization drive is in progress to ensure no other militants remain in the vicinity. This action follows a similar IBO earlier this month in the same district, where 12 terrorists were neutralized.
Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies continue their relentless counterterrorism efforts, demonstrating unwavering resolve to eliminate the menace of foreign-supported militancy from the country.
Such operations underscore the professionalism and sacrifices of our troops in safeguarding national security and maintaining peace in Balochistan. The nation stands united behind its armed forces in this ongoing fight against terrorism.
