Security forces have killed 18 terrorists in an operation conducted in Balochistan’s Zhob district on February 25, said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement on Thursday.
The military’s media wing said that after an IBO in Zhob district of Balochistan on February 24 2026, in which eight India-sponsored militants were successfully neutralised, security forces on Feb 25 conducted a comprehensive area sanitisation operation in Zhob district of Balochistan, to “hunt down hiding Khwarij belonging to the Indian proxy, Fitna al Khwarij”.
During the conduct of the operation, forces tracked down terrorists on multiple routes and effectively engaged their locations. After an ensuing fire exchange, 10 India-backed terrorists “were sent to hell”.
“Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the Khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area,” the statement said.
