Pakistan’s military has concluded a weeklong security operation in the restive southwestern Balochistan province, claiming the deaths of 216 fighters in targeted offensives.
A military statement on Thursday said following the province-wide attacks by the separatist Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), carried out to “destabilise the peace of Balochistan”, security forces launched Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1 (countering chaos) to “dismantle terrorist sleeper cells through sustained combing and sanitisation operations” through “meticulous planning” and “actionable intelligence”.
