Five Fitna al-Hindustan Militants Killed in Balochistan Operation
The army in Pakistan went on a secret mission to catch some very dangerous people called militants.
These militants lived in a part of Pakistan called Balochistan.
They were accused of stealing money, taking people away, and hurting shopkeepers and families.
Soldiers found five of these militants and stopped them, including their leader named Wazir.
The soldiers also took their motorcycles and guns so they could not hurt anyone else.
This was part of a big plan called Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3.
Just one day before, soldiers had stopped 15 more militants in other towns.
The person in charge of Pakistan's security, Mohsin Naqvi, said the soldiers did a really good job.
Even so, things have been getting more dangerous in Balochistan, and in July more people were hurt than the month before.
The government hopes these operations will make people safer.
At least five militants, including key commander Wazir, were killed in an intelligence-based operation in Panjgur district, Balochistan.
The operation targeted 'Fitna al-Hindustan' militants in the Sarkani and Chedgi areas as part of Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-3.
Security forces recovered four motorcycles, machine guns, heavy weapons and ammunition from the slain militants.
The militants were allegedly involved in robbery, extortion, kidnapping and attacks targeting local traders and residents in Panjgur.
A day earlier, security forces killed 15 militants in multiple intelligence-based operations across eight districts of Balochistan.
