ECURITY forced neutralized 92 terrorists of Indian proxy Finta al-Hindustan (FAH) while responding to multiple attacks across Balochistan while 18 civilians and 15 jawan embraced martyrdom in what Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi described as “Indian sponsored spate of attacks”, vowing the authorities would go after every single one of those involved and the “masters behind them”. In a statement issued by the InterServices Public Relations (ISPR), the military’s media wing, “On 31 January 2026, #India sponsored terrorists Fitna al-Hindustan attempted to disturb the peace in #Balochistan, Pakistan, the terrorists carried out multiple attacks around Quetta, Mastung, Nushki, Dalbandin, Kharan, Panjgur, Tump, Gwadar and Pasni.” The statement said, “On behest of their foreign masters, these cowardly acts of terrorism were aimed at disrupting the lives of local populace and development of Balochistan by targeting innocent civilians in District Gwadar and Kharan, wherein, terrorists maliciously targeted 18 innocent civilians (including women, children, elderly and labours) who embraced Shahadat.”
The security forces and the law enforcement agencies being fully alert immediately responded and successfully thwarted the evil design of terrorists displaying unwavering courage and professional excellence, it added. “Our valiant troops carried out engagement of terrorists with precision and after prolong, intense and daring clearance operation across Balochistan, sent ninety two (92) terrorists including three suicide bombers to hell, ensuring security and protection of local populace,” the ISPR said. “Tragically, during clearance operations and intense standoffs, 15 brave sons of soil, having fought gallantly, made the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat,” the statement said. The ISPR said that sanitization operations in these areas are being continuously conducted and the instigators, perpetrators, facilitators and abettors of these heinous and cowardly acts, targeting innocent civilians and Law Enforcement Agencies personals, will be brought to Justice. “Intelligence reports have unequivocally confirmed that the attacks were orchestrated and directed by terrorists ring leaders operating from outside Pakistan, who were in direct communication with the terrorists throughout the in-
cident,” the ISPR said. “Earlier on 30 January, 41 terrorists of Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khwarij were killed in Panjgur and Harnai. With these successful operations in last two days, the total number of terrorists killed in the ongoing operations in Balochistan has reached one hundred and thirty three (I33),” the ISPR said. Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored terrorist found in the area. Relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country, the statement reaffirmed. Speaking to the media alongside Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti on Saturday night, Interior Naqvi he said, “India is responsible and behind these “not normal” terrorists attacks. “I can tell you for sure that India planned these attacks along with these terrorists,” he declared, reaffirming that the authorities would go after every single one of those involved and the “masters behind them”.
