In a significant counter-terrorism operation, the Balochistan Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) reported the elimination of eight suspected terrorists in an intelligence-led raid near Darakshan town, located on the outskirts of Quetta, Pakistan. The operation underscores the ongoing efforts of Pakistani authorities to combat militancy in the region, which has seen a resurgence of violence linked to various militant groups. The CTD spokesperson confirmed the incident, highlighting the importance of such interventions in maintaining security and stability in Balochistan, a province that has been a hotbed for insurgent activities. This operation is part of broader security measures implemented by the Pakistani government to address the challenges posed by extremist factions, aiming to restore peace and order within the region. The situation remains tense, and authorities are on high alert to prevent any potential retaliatory actions from remaining militant groups.
