During this phase, <strong>41 terrorists linked to Indian proxy networks<\/strong> were eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The military said subsequent attempts by Fitna al-Hindustan to destabilise the province were effectively thwarted through aggressive and sustained responses. This was followed by expanded intelligence-based operations across multiple areas, aimed at dismantling terrorist sleeper cells through continuous combing and sanitisation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough meticulous planning, actionable intelligence, and seamless joint execution, Pakistan\u2019s security forces and law enforcement agencies responded with precision and resolve,\u201d the ISPR stated, adding that the operation significantly degraded the terrorists\u2019 leadership, command-and-control systems, and operational capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paying tribute to the martyrs, the ISPR said the bravery and professionalism of the fallen personnel reflected the highest traditions of service, and the nation stands in solidarity with their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The military reaffirmed its commitment to eliminate terrorism in all forms under the <strong>National Action Plan (NAP)<\/strong>, vowing that counterterrorism operations would continue until all threats are neutralised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">President, PM Laud Security Forces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reacting to the successful conclusion of the operation, <strong>President Asif Ali Zardari<\/strong> praised the security forces for timely action that foiled the terrorists\u2019 nefarious designs. He said intelligence-based operations had delivered a decisive blow to foreign-backed terrorism and paid tribute to the martyred civilians and personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/strong> also commended the armed forces and law enforcement agencies, expressing deep grief over the loss of innocent lives. \u201cThe Pakistani nation can never forget the sacrifices of its martyrs,\u201d he said, adding that targeting civilians proved terrorists were enemies of Balochistan\u2019s development and its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti<\/strong> said Operation Raddul Fitna-1 sent a clear message to Indian proxy terrorists and their handlers. \u201cThe BLA is a nuisance acting at India\u2019s behest to obstruct Pakistan\u2019s progress. Pakistan will not compromise on its unity, development, or the security of its people,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Pakistan\u2019s security forces have successfully concluded Operation Raddul Fitna-1 in Balochistan, killing at least 216 terrorists in a series of coordinated intelligence-based operations, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said&hellip;
