Crackdown on Balochistan Terror Groups: Major Security Sweep

In a significant crackdown on terror, Pakistani security forces have killed 35 members of Balochistan-based terrorist groups and captured three senior commanders in a series of intelligence-based operations.

The operations began on May 13 in Mangla Zarghoon Gar, near Quetta, and concluded after four days. The Balochistan government stated that many terrorist camps and hideouts were destroyed in these operations, which follow violent incidents in Quetta earlier this month.

Amid these threats, the provincial government has enforced Section 144, restricting public gatherings and activities, and suspended train services to maintain law and order.
