Operation Details
On February 25, 2026, acting on high-grade intelligence gathered during the February 24 engagement—which saw the elimination of eight Khwarij—security forces launched a large-scale area sanitization operation. The mission aimed to dismantle the remaining hideouts of the Indian-proxy network operating within the district.
During the maneuver, specialized units successfully tracked the fleeing Khwarij across multiple rugged routes. Upon establishing contact, Pakistani forces effectively engaged the terrorist locations. In the intense fire exchange that followed, ten Indian-sponsored Khwarij were sent to hell.
Recoveries and Impact
Forces conducted a thorough sweep of the engagement sites, recovering a significant cache of:
-
Advanced Weapons
-
Ammunition
-
IED-making materials and explosives
The neutralized terrorists were confirmed to be high-value targets actively involved in orchestrating numerous terrorist activities, including attacks on security personnel and sabotage of critical infrastructure in Balochistan.
