Four soldiers were martyred as security forces killed 12 terrorists linked to \u201cIndian proxy groups\u201d in operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, the military\u2019s media wing said.<\/p>\n

According to a statement<\/a> issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Thursday night, seven terrorists were killed in operations in the North Waziristan and Chitral districts.<\/p>\n

In North Waziristan, \u201cIndian-sponsored khawarij<\/em> attempted to attack a security forces\u2019 check post in general area Shawal,\u201d the ISPR said, using the state-designated term for terrorists. \u201cThe attempt was effectively thwarted by own troops and in [the] ensuing fire exchange, six Indian-sponsored khawarij<\/em> were sent to hell.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, during intense fire exchange, Lieutenant Daniyal Ismail (age: 24 years, resident of District Mardan), a brave young officer who was leading his troops from [the] front, fought gallantly and embraced shahadat<\/em> (martyrdom) along with his three men,\u201d the ISPR said.<\/p>\n

The three other soldiers martyred in the operation were 42-year-old Naib Subedar Kashif Raza from Chakwal district, 35-year-old Lance Naik Fiaqat Ali from Haripur district and 26-year-old Sepoy Muhammad Hameed from Abbottabad district.<\/p>\n

In the second encounter in Chitral District, security forces successfully neutralised one \u201cIndian-sponsored kharji<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Earlier, security forces killed five terrorists linked to \u201cIndian proxy Fitna al Hindustan<\/em>\u201d in two separate operations in Balochistan, the military\u2019s media wing said.<\/p>\n

According to a statement<\/a> issued by ISPR this evening, one of the two engagements was an intelligence-based operation in Balochistan\u2019s Loralai district.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the \u2026 operation, [our] own troops effectively engaged the terrorists\u2019 location and after an intense fire exchange, four Indian-sponsored terrorists were successfully neutralised,\u201d the ISPR said, adding that weapons, ammunition and explosives were recovered.<\/p>\n

According to the ISPR, the dead terrorists were involved in numerous terrorist activities, including attacks on the N-70 highway near Rarasham on August 26, 2024, and February 18, 2025, that resulted in the deaths of 30 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe killed Indian-sponsored terrorists were highly wanted by law enforcement agencies, and were relentlessly pursued by the security forces,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

In the second engagement in Kech District, one more terrorist was \u201csent to hell\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The] Security forces of Pakistan are determined to eliminate the menace [of] Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country and reaffirm the nation\u2019s unwavering resolve to bring the perpetrators of terrorism and their facilitators to justice,\u201d the ISPR statement concluded.<\/p>\n

President Asif Ali Zardari issued a statement from his office paying tribute to security forces for the two operations, reiterating his resolve to eradicate Fitna al Hindustan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity forces are taking action to eradicate the menace of terrorism and the nation stands united,\u201d he was quoted as saying. \u201cOperations against Fitna al Hindustan<\/em> will continue until terrorism is completely eradicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, ISPR Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry accused<\/a> India of activating its \u201cassets\u201d to inte\u00adnsify terrorist attacks in Pakistan, presenting \u201cirr\u00ade\u00adfutable evidence\u201d of Ind\u00adian state-sponsored terrorism, directed by the Ind\u00adian military personnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cPost-Pahalgam, because of the designs of terrorism that they have, they tasked all their assets, the terrorists operating in Balochistan, and we have credible intelligence for that, the Fitna al Khawarij<\/em> and the independent terrorist cells \u2026 to increase their activity,\u201d he had said, using the state-designated term for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).<\/p>\n

Pakistan has witnessed an uptick<\/a> in terror activities, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, after the TTP ended<\/a> its ceasefire with the government in November 2022.<\/p>\n

A significant improvement was seen in Pakistan\u2019s internal security landscape in April 2025, \u201cas both militant attacks and resultant casualties dropped sharply compared to March\u201d, according to data<\/a> released by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS).<\/p>\n

Pakistan ranked second<\/a> in the Global Terrorism Index 2025, with the number of deaths in terrorist attacks rising by 45 per cent over the past year to 1,081.<\/p>\n
