title: "Security forces kill 21 terrorists in Balochistan operations; six personnel martyred in Customs House attack"
description: "Most outlets led with the number of terrorists killed and the locations of the operations, citing ISPR as the source. Several also mentioned the six security personnel who were martyred in the Customs House attack, with some specifying that two were officers and one was a Customs official. A few outlets, including the Associated Press of Pakistan and Business Recorder, attributed the attacks to “Indian-sponsored proxies,” using the names Fitna al Hindustan and Fitna al Khwarij. Others, like Abb Takk News and 24 News HD, referred to the militants as “India-backed” without naming specific groups. Geo News and BOL News briefly noted the recovery of weapons and explosives. The framing of the casualties varied, with some outlets using the term “martyred” for security personnel and others using more neutral language like “killed.”"
