The recent IBO is said to be a critical victory for security forces, emphasising that the loss of these prominent militants marks a substantial setback for terror outfit.
Harnai operation comes amid rising tensions in Balochistan, where security forces continue to face threats from various militant groups. Recently, a gas company in Musakhel was attacked, resulting in machinery being set ablaze and the abduction of 20 workers.
The security forces’ recent actions highlight their ongoing commitment to countering terrorism in the region and restoring stability for the people of Balochistan.
On August 30, at least five terrorists were killed while three others were injured in intelligence-based operations carried out by security forces in multiple Balochistan districts, the Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement.
“On night [of] 29/30 August, in three separate IBOs in District Kech, Panjgur, and Zhob, five terrorists were sent to hell by the security forces, while three terrorists got injured during the intense fire exchange,” according to the military’s media affairs wing.
It added that the sanitisation operations would “continue until all perpetrators, facilitators, and abetters of these atrocious acts are brought to justice”.
“Security forces of Pakistan, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability, and progress of Balochistan,” the military asserted.
“The security forces are conducting extensive intelligence-based operations (IBOs) to hunt down the perpetrators of these heinous acts,” it further added.
