Nine suspected terrorists were eliminated, and four Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) officials were martyred during a fierce gun battle on the outskirts of Quetta on Saturday, officials confirmed.
The high-stakes intelligence-based operation was carried out by the CTD and allied security forces in the suburban localities of Kuchlak and Nohsar.
Commenting on the development, Balochistan Chief Minister’s Assistant for Political and Media Affairs Shahid Rind stated that the successful raid stood as a clear demonstration of the professional capabilities and readiness of the region's law enforcement agencies.
He extended high praise to the operational teams for their precise execution of the counter-terrorism raid, noting that the entire nation remained deeply indebted to the security forces for their relentless sacrifices in purging the country of militancy.
The operation, however, saw intense resistance from the alleged terrorists, leading to a heavy exchange of fire that claimed the lives of four security officials. Expressing grief over the loss, Rind paid tribute to the fallen personnel, emphasising that they laid down their lives to protect public peace and that their sacrifices would never be forgotten.

Terrorism is a growing problem for Pakistan, with the number of attacks rising every year since 2022, according to Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED), a global monitoring organisation.
Data from ACLED shows attacks in Pakistan rose nearly fourfold to 2,425 in 2025 from 658 in 2022 and over the same period, attacks by the banned militant Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan increased more than sevenfold to 838 from 118.
Although Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has borne the brunt of terrorism, Balochistan has also remained a major target of Indian proxies, which often target civilians and military installations in the province.

Sure.. I was highlighting that we are emotionally aggressive. Like, posturing on that AD article (blaming Russia, China), or when 2 brothers were beaten to death in Sialkot, or here, when a father was alleged to have committed a crime and was not heard.
I was just endorsing that we lack critical thinking. We hear something, then we assume we have all the understanding and go to lethal/offensive action. There is no critical thinking or evaluation in our loop.
hear ---> understand --->

That issue is for Pakistani state to handle, it doesn't matter what I, Mr. X or you say. If they can match and respond to indian aggression, I am sure they can take care of a rogue militia forcefully occupying a country.

CHAKWAL: A nine-year-old girl was killed and her father and brother were injured after officials of the Crime Control Department (CCD) opened fire on their car in Chakwal city area mistaking it for that of robbers on Wednesday night.
Police sources and family members told Dawn that Adeel Ahmed, 39, an Australian national and a native of Dhudial village, recently arrived in Pakistan along with his wife Dr Sidra Khan, son Aafan Ahmed and daughter Hania Ahmed.
After arriving in Pakistan, the couple went for Haj and returned from Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning.
The father-in-law of Adeel hosted a dinner for the families of his two daughters. After having dinner, Adeel left the residence of his father-in-law at 11:40pm.
His wife wanted to see her maternal uncle Ali Ejaz, whose home is located adjacent to the CCD station.
“As they stopped their rented car in front of my house, two robbers arrived on a motorcycle. A robber carrying a pistol came to the car and asked Adeel and Sidra to hand over her jewellery and cash,” Mr Ejaz told Dawn.
He said his niece gave the robber her jewellery which was worth Rs500,000.
As the robber got the jewellery, he was spotted by a CCD official who was returning to the station after having a meal outside.
“The cop rushed to the station and took an SMG gun from a constable and opened fire on the robbers who also retaliated,” an official said.
Both the robbers fled leaving their motorcycle on the spot.
As the firing ensued, Adeel also drove off the vehicle.
“As the cops saw the vehicle being driven away immediately, they took it as belonging to the robbers and opened indiscriminate fire on the car,” a police official said.
CCD personnel also chased the car on motorcycles but they could not catch it as Adeel drove the car fast and managed to reach the gate of his father-in-law where he lost control and the car smashed into the gate.
He was also badly injured. The family was rushed to the District Headquarters Hospital where Hania was pronounced dead while Adeel and his son Aafan were referred to Benazir Bhutto Hospital Rawalpindi where both were operated on.
Adeel was discharged from the hospital but his son is still being treated. Adeel’s wife remained unhurt.
CCD’s Regional Officer Rawalpindi Hassan Jehangir Watoo and District Police Officer Chakwal Kashif Zulfiqar visited the family and assured them of swift legal action against all those found guilty.
“It was a highly shocking incident. A JIT has been constituted which will present its findings soon,” the DPO told Dawn.
