Security forces have killed eight terrorists, including a suicide bomber, during intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in different areas of Balochistan, while two Pakistan Army personnel, including a major, embraced martyrdom in a separate attack, the military\u2019s media wing said on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), intelligence-based operations against Indian-sponsored Fitna al-Hindustan have been underway since November 13 in Quetta, Kolpur, Qardgap and Nushki.<\/p>\n

In a successful operation in Kolpur late at night, security forces killed eight terrorists and recovered a large quantity of weapons and ammunition from their possession. A suicide bomber was also among those killed, the statement said.<\/p>\n

However, on November 14, terrorists belonging to Fitna al-Hindustan targeted military vehicles on patrol using weaponised quadcopters, resulting in the martyrdom of two army personnel.<\/p>\n

The martyred soldiers were identified as Major Omar Minhas Nasir and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan.<\/p>\n

Major Omar belonged to Chakwal district, while Havildar Adnan was from Kotli Sattian, the ISPR said.<\/p>\n

Security forces are also continuing patrols and area-dominance operations to ensure the security of the Quetta-Taftan National Highway (N-40) for local traffic.<\/p>\n

The military\u2019s media wing said India was continuously providing financial support and advanced equipment to Fitna al-Hindustan, adding that terrorists operating with the backing of Indian and other hostile intelligence agencies were using drones, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and modern technology to carry out attacks.<\/p>\n

It said security forces were fully aware of the terrorists\u2019 evolving tactics and would not allow them any operational freedom.<\/p>\n

Clearance operations will continue in the affected areas until the terrorist threat is completely eliminated, the statement added.<\/p>\n

The ISPR said counterterrorism operations would continue at full pace under the federal Apex Committee-approved vision Azm-e-Istehkam, in line with the National Action Plan.<\/p>\n

It added that security forces and law enforcement agencies remained committed to eliminating foreign-sponsored terrorism from the country.<\/p>\n

He also paid tribute to Major Omar Minhas Nasir and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan and expressed condolences and sympathy to their bereaved families.<\/p>\n

The president said the sacrifices of Pakistan\u2019s armed forces personnel in the fight against foreign-sponsored terrorism were a source of pride for the nation.<\/p>\n

He added that such sacrifices strengthened the national resolve to eliminate terrorism, while cowardly attacks could not weaken the morale of security institutions.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also commended security forces for the successful intelligence-based operations against Fitna al-Hindustan in Kolpur, Qardgap and Nushki.<\/p>\n

He paid tribute to Major Omar Minhas Nasir and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan, who were martyred while on routine patrol along the Quetta-Taftan National Highway.<\/p>\n

The prime minister prayed for the elevation of the martyrs\u2019 ranks and patience for their bereaved families, saying the entire nation saluted their sacrifices.<\/p>\n
