Operation Shaban continues to expand across Balochistan as security forces intensify their campaign against militant networks. During the latest phase of the operation, security personnel killed three more foreign terrorists, further strengthening the ongoing counter-terrorism effort.
The latest development has raised the total number of terrorists killed since the launch of the operation on July 5 to 105, according to security sources.
Joint Operation Continues Across Balochistan
Operation Shaban is being carried out jointly by the Pakistan Army, Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan, and police.
The coordinated campaign targets hideouts and operational bases linked to the outlawed Fitna al-Khawarij across different parts of the province.
Security officials said forces remain focused on dismantling militant networks and preventing future attacks. Therefore, operations continue in several sensitive areas without interruption.
Air and Ground Operations Intensified
Security sources said law enforcement agencies are using both air and ground assets during the operation.
At the same time, intelligence-based operations remain a key part of the strategy. These operations help security forces identify and target heavily armed militant groups operating in Balochistan’s mountainous terrain.
Moreover, coordinated ground actions continue alongside aerial surveillance to maintain pressure on terrorist elements.
Officials believe this approach strengthens operational effectiveness while limiting militants’ ability to regroup.
Death Toll Reaches 105 Since July 5
According to official figures, the latest operation has increased the total number of foreign terrorists killed to 105 since Operation Shaban began on July 5.
The large-scale campaign was launched after a series of coordinated militant attacks across the province earlier this month.
Among those incidents was a deadly attack on a police checkpoint near Ziarat, which prompted authorities to begin an extensive counter-terrorism operation.
Since then, security forces have continued operations in multiple districts to disrupt militant activities and restore stability.
Security Forces Continue Clearance Operations
Senior security officials said troops remain determined to eliminate terrorist networks, their facilitators, and operational infrastructure.
Consequently, intensive search and clearance operations are continuing in designated areas across Balochistan.
Officials added that security forces remain committed to ensuring long-term peace and strengthening law and order throughout the province.
Furthermore, intelligence-led operations will continue alongside ground deployments to prevent militants from re-establishing safe havens.
Operation Remains Ongoing
Operation Shaban remains active as security forces continue targeting militant elements across Balochistan.
Authorities said the campaign will continue until terrorist networks and their supporting infrastructure are dismantled.
Meanwhile, security personnel remain deployed in operational areas as search missions and intelligence-based actions move forward across the province.
