Security forces eliminate seven terrorists in Sherani Balochistan operation

Security forces killed seven terrorists during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Sherani district, the military’s media affairs wing said on Friday.

Security forces carried out a successful intelligence-based operation in Sherani District of Balochistan on October 1, 2025, after receiving reports about the presence of terrorists linked to the Indian proxy group Fitna al Khwarij. According to the military’s media wing, troops effectively targeted the hideout, and after a heavy exchange of fire, seven terrorists were killed on the spot.

During the operation, weapons, ammunition, and explosives were recovered from the site. Officials confirmed that the killed terrorists were actively involved in multiple attacks and subversive activities in the region, causing unrest and insecurity for local communities. Their elimination marks another step in Pakistan’s broader efforts to dismantle networks of Indian-sponsored terrorism operating inside the country.

After the encounter, a sanitization operation was launched in the surrounding areas to ensure no other terrorist presence remained. Security forces are conducting thorough searches to clear the district completely and restore peace. Authorities highlighted that such operations are crucial to deny terrorists any safe haven and to protect the lives of innocent civilians.

The military reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating terrorism and stated that Pakistan will continue to target and neutralize groups working against the country’s stability. It also emphasized the nation’s resolve to bring perpetrators of terrorism to justice and safeguard national security at all costs.

This operation in Sherani reflects the determination of the security forces to root out militancy despite challenges. By successfully neutralizing the terrorists and securing dangerous weapons, the forces have once again shown their capability to respond swiftly to threats and ensure peace in Balochistan and beyond.
