Pakistan's security forces have eliminated 49 terrorists in a series of intelligence-based operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces over the past few days, the military's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced Friday.

The operations, conducted jointly with police as part of a counter-terrorism campaign, targeted groups the military refers to as "Indian Proxies," "Fitna Al Khwarij" (banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan) and "Fitna Al Hindustan" (designated Balochistan-based groups), aiming to highlight India's alleged role in terrorism within Pakistan.
