“To eradicate the scourge of Fitna al-Hindustan, our lives and even the lives of our children are willing to be sacrificed,” said another wounded police officer.
The visit comes a day after 92 terrorists were killed as security forces battled a series of coordinated attacks in multiple locations in Balochistan. At least 18 civilians were martyred in the attacks, while 15 security personnel were martyred in combat.
In a statement issued on Saturday night after the day of attacks, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said: “Indian-sponsored Fitna al-Hindustan terrorists attempted to disturb the peace of Balochistan by carrying out multiple terrorist activities around Quetta, Mastung, Nushki, Dalbandin, Kharan, Panjgur, Tump, Gwadar and Pasni.

Fitna al-Hindustan is a general term used by officials to refer to illegal Baloch terrorist groups, as the government claims they act as proxies for India, which wants to destabilize Pakistan through hybrid warfare.
The banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attacks in a social media post, describing the coordinated attack unleashed on Saturday as the second phase of “Operation Heroof”.
