Pakistani forces kill 18 militants involved in terrorism across Balochistan

On October 30, 2025, Pakistani security forces killed 18 terrorists affiliated with the India-supported group Fitna-ul-Hindustan during two separate operations in Balochistan, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), cited by Pakistani media.

The first operation took place in the Chiltan mountains of Quetta district. Acting on intelligence reports, troops targeted a terrorist hideout.

According to ISPR, “our forces effectively attacked the terrorists’ positions, and after intense gunfire, 14 India-sponsored terrorists were sent to hell.” Weapons, ammunition, and explosives were seized at the site. The slain militants were reportedly involved in multiple acts of terrorism and sabotage across the province.

In a second operation in Buleda, Kech district, security forces raided another terrorist hideout, killing four additional militants linked to Fitna-ul-Hindustan. The operation also resulted in the recovery of more weapons and explosives.

ISPR confirmed that the terrorists had carried out several attacks on civilians and security personnel in the region, emphasising the ongoing threat posed by the group.
