Chamalang, Balochistan — May 13, 2026
Security forces killed eight terrorists in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Chamalang area of Balochistan on Wednesday, though the operation came at a cost — a Major and three soldiers embraced martyrdom during the firefight.
The operation was launched after credible intelligence reports indicated the presence of terrorists in the Chamalang region who had been extorting money from local coal miners and mining businesses — a tactic increasingly used by militant groups to fund their activities in the province.
Upon contact, the terrorists opened fire on the security forces, triggering an intense exchange of gunfire. Four soldiers, including a Major, were martyred in the line of duty. Eight terrorists were killed in the ensuing operation.
Security forces have launched a pursuit of militants who fled the area, while a clearance and search operation remains ongoing across Chamalang and its surrounding localities to eliminate any remaining threat.
The sacrifices of the martyred soldiers were acknowledged with the highest honour, with the military reaffirming its resolve to continue operations against militants until lasting peace is restored across Balochistan.
