Security forces eliminated six foreign-sponsored terrorists during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted in Balochistan’s Panjgur district on the night between June 3 and 4, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
According to the military’s media wing, the operation was launched following intelligence reports regarding the presence of terrorists belonging to the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) aka ‘Fitna al Hindustan’, an Indian proxy.
During the operation, security forces effectively engaged multiple terrorist hideouts. After an intense exchange of fire, six Indian-sponsored terrorists were killed, the ISPR said.
The security forces said they also recovered a cache of weapons, ammunition, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and a vehicle from the possession of the deceased terrorists. The ISPR added that the killed individuals had been actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.
“Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any remaining terrorists in the vicinity,” it maintained.
The military’s media wing reaffirmed that the relentless counter-terrorism campaign under the vision “Azm-e-Istehkam”—as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan—will continue at full pace by the security forces and law enforcement agencies to completely eradicate the menace of foreign-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan.
On 3/4 Jun 2026, security forces conducted an intelligence based operation in Panjgur District of Balochistan, on reported presence of terrorists belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna al Hindustan.

Security forces foiled a suicide attack in Bannu after identifying and engaging a suicide bomber before he could reach his intended target.
According to senior security sources, intelligence and security agencies had received prior information about a suicide attack in the area and had heightened surveillance accordingly.
Sources said security personnel spotted the suspected attacker and opened fire, prompting the suicide bomber to panic. The terrorist detonated his explosive vest prematurely, resulting in an explosion that left four people with minor injuries.
The injured were provided medical assistance, while security forces immediately secured the area and launched a search operation to determine whether any accomplices were involved.
Authorities said the timely action by security personnel helped prevent what could have been a major terrorist attack. Further investigations into the incident are underway.
