Earlier, in a military operation in Balochistan’s Kech district, four terrorists, including a high-value target (HVT) named Sana, were killed. Sana, also known as Baru, was the leader of a terrorist group responsible for recruiting suicide bombers for the Majeed Brigade.
The operation, which took place on the night of November 12-13, involved an intense firefight, with weapons and ammunition recovered from the terrorists. A sanitisation operation is ongoing to ensure no further threats remain. The operation highlights ongoing security challenges in Balochistan, Pakistan, where terrorist violence has been rising.
