ISLAMABAD: At least three terrorists were killed during an anti-infiltration operation near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Balochistan’s Zhob district, the Pakistani military’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Tuesday.
The anti-infiltration operation, which began on the night of August 7, has so far resulted in the death of 50 terrorists.
Sanitisation operation
“On night [of] 10/11 August 2025, a deliberate sanitisation operation was conducted in surrounding areas of Sambaza along [the] Pakistan-Afghanistan border,” the ISPR said.
“During the conduct of the operation, three more Indian sponsored khawarij were hunted down and successfully neutralised. Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed khawarij,” the statement read.
The military also shared collages of images showing an aerial view of the eliminated terrorists — all 50 of them numbered — as evidence.
“The security forces remain committed to secure the nation’s frontiers and thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability and progress of Pakistan,” the military reaffirmed.
