Pakistan’s security forces have killed 74 militants during intelligence-based operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), as counterterrorism efforts intensify across the country.

The military’s media wing reported that 35 militants were killed in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, while eight others were killed in Orakzai during operations over the past 48 hours. Another 31 were killed in a separate operation in Balochistan’s Quetta district.

The operations involved engagements with militant hideouts, with security forces also recovering weapons, ammunition and explosives, including improvised explosive devices.

The ISPR said clearance operations were continuing in the affected areas to locate any remaining militants and dismantle their networks.

The military reiterated that counterterrorism operations under the Azm-e-Istehkam initiative would continue to address security threats across the country. The reported casualty figures have not been independently verified.
