Pakistani security forces have killed two terrorists during an Intelligence-Based Operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Kech district, reports quoted security sources as saying.
The operation took place in the Dasht area near Balgatar, where security forces engaged the terrorists in an intense exchange of fire.
Sources confirmed that the forces recovered modern weapons, ammunition, communication equipment and cash from the bodies of the terrorists.
The recovered cash also included money looted from local Baloch civilians, sources added.
A search and clearance operation is underway in the area after the operation.
Pakistan has witnessed a rise in terrorist attacks, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan, since the Afghan Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
The country recorded its highest monthly number of terrorist attacks in 12 years in September 2026.
Islamabad has repeatedly called on Kabul to prevent terrorist organisations from using Afghan territory to carry out attacks inside Pakistan.
Pakistan maintains that the Afghan Taliban government has failed to take effective action against groups responsible for attacks on Pakistani security forces and civilians.
