Perception being created that the situation in Balochistan is deteriorating: DG ISPR
News DeskJuly 31, 2026
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said on Friday that deliberate attempts were being made to create a perception that the situation in Balochistan was deteriorating.
He made this remark while addressing a press conference focused on the overall security situation in the country, particularly Balochistan.
At the outset of the briefing, the military’s spokesperson said 40,348 intelligence-based operations had been conducted this year so far, adding that the figure covered operations carried out by all security forces, including police, civil armed forces, intelligence agencies and the armed forces.
Of these operations, most were carried out in Balochistan, with the number exceeding 31,000, he said.
The DG ISPR added that overall 3,145 terrorism incidents had taken place in the country in 2026, among which 1,971 were reported from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 1,148 from Balochistan and 26 from other parts of the country.
During this time, he continued, 2,084 individuals who were confirmed terrorists were killed. “This comes to an average of 10 terrorists being killed every day, which is the highest ratio ever,” he added.
Meanwhile, security forces were undertaking nearly 200 intelligence-based operations (IBO) per day. “So these IBOs are going on every hour.”
The DG ISPR further stated that “819 Pakistanis have been martyred” in incidents of terrorism in the ongoing year, which came to four per day. This comprised 303 army personnel, 194 law enforcers from police and civil armed forces and 322 civilians.
He added that 28 incidents of suicide bombing had taken place this year, “the majority of which were carried out by Afghan nationals […] and people associated with their security forces”.

Comparing the number of terrorists killed last year with those killed in 2026, he said 2,597 were killed in 2025 and 2,084 this year so far.
Pointing out that five months were left before 2026 would end, he said, “The way the kinetic prong of the counter-terrorism is maturing, responding and delivering, that is before you.”
He further elaborated that the number of martyrs in comparison to slain terrorists was higher, but the tide started turning in 2024. And in 2025, “for each martyr we were taking out minimum two [terrorists], and this year, we are taking out minimum 2.5 [terrorists].”
Here, he added, it would be a valid question to ask that why are terrorism incident rising.
