In a decisive counter-terrorism operation in the Darakshan district of Quetta, eight militants were killed and three security personnel were injured. The assault was initiated upon receiving credible intelligence about their presence from officials with the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD).

Militants opened fire on security forces upon sensing danger, which led to a retaliatory response.

Medical teams swiftly transported those injured for urgent treatment at a nearby hospital.

The CTD confirmed that weapons and ammunition caches had been recovered from the slain militants. Authorities are investigating whether they belonged to a proscribed organization; preliminary reports suggest this was the case, though investigations continue.

Quetta’s security forces have cordoned off the area and initiated a search operation to apprehend any remaining militants or accomplices.
