Pakistani security forces reported killing at least 13 terrorists in intelligence-based operations across Balochistan province on December 24 and 25. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that operations in Kohlu and Kalat resulted in the deaths of five and eight terrorists, respectively, with weapons and explosives recovered. These actions are part of the ongoing "Azm-e-Istehkam" campaign to eliminate militants involved in terror activities. A previous operation this month also saw 12 terrorists killed in Kalat.
