The military's media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), announced the developments on Wednesday.

Weapons, ammunition and improvised explosive devices used by terrorists were also recovered from the terrorists.

โ€” ISPRThe military's media wing stated what was recovered during the operations.

According to the ISPR statement, seven terrorists were killed in Surab, while three were killed in Mastung. The two suicide bombers and their facilitator were apprehended in Mastung. These operations are part of ongoing actions against what the ISPR described as the "terrorist nexus of India-sponsored Fitna-al-Hindustan and Fitna-al-Khawarij" in Balochistan, aimed at eradicating terrorist remnants and their supporters.

The ISPR further reported that weapons, ammunition, and improvised explosive devices were recovered from the apprehended individuals. Sanitization operations are reportedly underway to find any other India-sponsored terrorists in the area. The military affirmed that the relentless counter-terrorism campaign, aligned with the 'Azm-i-Istehkam' vision approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan, will continue at full pace to eliminate foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from Pakistan.

Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other India-sponsored terrorist found in the area.

This operation is part of a broader strategy to combat terrorism within the country. The ISPR has consistently accused India of sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan, a charge India denies. The focus on Balochistan, a region with a long-running insurgency, highlights the ongoing security challenges in the province.

Relentless counter-terrorism campaign under vision โ€˜Azm-i-Istehkamโ€™, as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan, by the security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and -supported terrorism from the country.
