Four terrorists belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al-Hindustan were killed in a clash with the local tribe in Balochistan’s Korki area, security sources said on Sunday.
They added that the Fitna al-Hindustan terrorists attacked residents in the Korki area, sparking an armed clash with local tribes.
As a result, four terrorists were killed and a citizen belonging to the local tribune was martyred during the exchange of fire, the security sources noted, adding that two Fitna al-Hindustan militants were also injured in the clashes.
The sources further noted that despite repeated requests from the local tribes to vacate the area, the militants had refused to leave.
In response to the group’s hostile actions and growing threats, local tribes decided to defend themselves against the Fitna al-Hindustan terrorists, the sources added.
The recent incident comes a day after security forces gunned down 14 terrorists linked to Indian proxy Fitna al-Hindustan during an operation in Balochistan’s Khuzdar.
They added that the operation was carried out on the reported presence of terrorists belonging to the Indian proxy terrorists, resulting in the killing of at least 14 terrorists, while 20 militants were also injured.
Meanwhile, a soldier was martyred and another injured when unknown assailants opened fire on them near Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bannu district on Sunday, according to the police. Spokesperson for Bannu Police Kashif Nawaz told the media, “A security personnel was killed and another was injured when they were attacked by unknown assailants near the Ayub fuel station on Miranshah road.”
He added that the body and the injured were rushed to the District Headquarters Hospital in Bannu, while a police team was dispatched to the site of the incident to collect information.
Separately, a police vehicle was targeted by a remote-controlled Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on Indus Highway on Sunday. Officials confirmed all personnel inside, including a senior officer, escaped the blast unharmed.
The attack occurred near Bayst Khel Phatak area. The vehicle, which was carrying the Additional Station House Officer (SHO) of Wargadi police station and his team, sustained partial damage. According to police sources, the device was detonated remotely as the van passed. Immediately following the incident, a heavy contingent of police cordoned off the area and launched a widespread search operation to locate and apprehend those responsible.
