RAWALPINDI: Security forces have killed three more Indian-backed militants during an operation in Zhob district of Balochistan.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the sanitization operation was carried out from August 10-11 in the Sambaza area of Zhob, resulting in the elimination of three militants.
The ISPR added that the four-day counter-infiltration operation has so far left a total of 50 militants dead.
During the conduct of the operation, weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed khwarij. The number of khwarij killed in four days anti-inflation operation has risen to 50.
The Security Forces remain committed to secure the nation’s frontiers and thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability and progress of Pakistan.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif commended the officers and personnel of the security forces for carrying out another successful operation against Khawarij in the Sambaza area of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The president and prime minister, in their separately issued statements, appreciated the security forces for killing 50 Indian-sponsored terrorists in the last four days as a testament to their professionalism, bravery, and determination.
“The nation stands shoulder to shoulder with its brave armed forces against terrorism. The enemies of Pakistan’s peace, stability, and development will never succeed,” the president said, reiterating that the war would continue with full force until the complete eradication of terrorism.
Prime Minister Shehbaz also praised the professional capabilities of the security forces for killing three more Indian-backed terrorists on Monday night, following a successful operation that neutralized 47 terrorists in the same area a few days ago.
“We will continue this war against the scourge of terrorism until it is eradicated in toto from the country. Pakistan armed forces are engaged day and night in the mission to cleanse the homeland of terrorists, and for this, the entire nation, including myself, pays tribute to them,” he added.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi lauded the country’s security forces for killing three more “Fitna-e-Hindustan” militants in Balochistan’s Zhob district, describing the operation as another blow to Indian-backed terrorism in the province.
Naqvi praised the professional skills and dedication of the forces, noting that their “remarkable successes against the terrorists of Fitna-e-Hindustan are a source of pride for the entire nation.”
