At least three more terrorists killed in Zhob counter-terrorism sweep
Listen to article Security forces killed on Tuesday at least three more terrorists during a sanitisation operation on the night of August 10 and 11 in the general area of Sambaza along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, said a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The military's media wing added that weapons, ammunition and explosives were recovered from the killed terrorists. The action follows earlier anti-infiltration operations in the area. Over the last four days, security forces have intercepted infiltration attempts along the border and killed at least 47 terrorists. The total has now risen to at least 50. Read: 33 terrorists killed as troops foil border breach attempt The ISPR further added that the security forces remain committed to securing the nation's frontiers and preventing attempts to destabilise Pakistan. The operation was aimed at securing the nation's borders and preventing any attempts to disrupt peace, stability and development. Earlier on August 11, the United States formally designated the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and its suicide unit, the Majeed Brigade, as Foreign Terrorist Organisations (FTO), in a move hailed in Islamabad as a major boost to Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts. Read more: US blacklists BLA, Majeed Brigade In Afghanistan, the TTP has developed a symbiotic relationship with other terrorist groups — particularly the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) — to step up attacks in Pakistan. Pakistani officials say they have credible evidence of tactical and strategic coordination between the BLA's lethal Majeed Brigade and the TTP. Also read: Security forces kill 14 more terrorists in sanitization operation near Afghan border These claims were reinforced by the latest report of the UN Security Council, which explicitly states that the BLA – including its Majeed Brigade – and the TTP maintain "close coordination" in their terrorist activities. The report cites high-profile, complex attacks claimed by these groups in 2025 to illustrate the level of operational synchronisation between them. The TTP and its affiliated groups had fled across the border into Afghanistan following their rout in a major military operation, codenamed Zarb-e-Azb, in the erstwhile tribal areas of Pakistan in 2014. There, they found safe havens which they have since used as launch pads for attacks inside Pakistan. Balochistan hosts major projects under the multi-billion-dollar China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), part of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative, and has often been targeted in insurgent attacks.
