Pakistani Forces Kill 15 Terrorists in Two Operations in Balochistan

Pakistani security forces killed 15 terrorists in two intelligence-based operations in Balochistan's Harnai and Basima districts on March 5, 2026, the army said. Twelve militants were killed at a 'Khawarij' hideout in Harnai, linked to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), designated as "Fitna al-Khawarij" by the government in 2024. Three terrorists were killed in Basima, where weapons and explosives were recovered. Balochistan faces ongoing low-level insurgency involving groups like the Baloch Liberation Army and TTP.
