Summary

Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported that military forces neutralized over 71 militants during a 96-hour period of operations across Balochistan. The operations, including Operation Shaban which began on September 21, 2026, targeted individuals associated with Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna al-Hindustan, groups the ISPR alleged receive backing from India. According to the ISPR, 33 militants were killed in Ziarat/Quetta district, 23 in surrounding areas over the subsequent 72 hours, 11 in Nushki district, and 6 in Mand. Security forces seized explosives, ammunition, and weaponry during the operations. The actions were part of the government's Azm-e-Istehkam counterterrorism initiative. Pakistan's President and Prime Minister commended the security forces, with officials stating the operations would continue to eliminate terrorism in the region.
