title: "Security forces report killing dozens of terrorists in Balochistan operations"
description: "Most outlets reported that security forces killed 12 terrorists in an intelligence-based operation in Kalat district, with some also noting the destruction of weapons and explosives. Several outlets later expanded the coverage to include a broader 48-terrorist toll across Balochistan over 48 to 72 hours, often describing the militants as linked to Indian-backed groups. While most attributed the initial 12-terrorist kill count to ISPR, a few named outlets, such as Geo News and 24 News HD, introduced a higher 36- or 48-terrorist toll earlier in their reporting. Some also mentioned the groups Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij in passing."
