Pakistan's security forces have eliminated 12 terrorists during two intelligence-based operations in the Mastung and Washuk districts of Balochistan. The military's media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), announced the successful outcomes of the "high-tempo" operations on Thursday.

These operations are part of the ongoing 'Radul Fitna' counterterrorism campaign, specifically targeting what the ISPR terms 'Fitna-al-Hindustan.' This designation is used to highlight alleged Indian involvement in fostering terrorism and destabilization within Pakistan.

High-tempo operations were carried out as part of the โ€˜Radul Fitnaโ€™ counterterrorism campaign against Fitna-al-Hindustan in Balochistan.

A precise engagement resulted in the elimination of all six militants, described as belonging to an "Indian proxy." Earlier the same day, during a separate operation in Mastung district, another group of six terrorists was neutralized.

The movement of six terrorists was picked up by the security forces in Washuk District of Balochistan. Own troops effectively engaged these terrorists. As a result of precise and skilful engagement, all six terrorists belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna-al-Hindustan were sent to hell.
