33 Militants Eliminated in Pakistan During Operation

  • In Pakistan, 33 militants were eliminated during a military operation.
  • The suspension of mobile internet in Balochistan is linked to security.
  • The government accuses India of supporting the militants, but without evidence.

On Friday, August 8, 2025, Pakistani security forces eliminated 33 militants who were attempting to cross the border into Afghanistan. The operation took place in the Jobe area of Balochistan province, where the military identified a group known as "Khwarij," a term used by the government to designate Pakistani Taliban.

The military continues search operations to find and eliminate any remaining militants. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the security forces for the successful operation.

On the same day, the Balochistan government announced the suspension of mobile internet until the end of August to ensure security. This decision was made following an attack on a convoy of paramilitary forces that resulted in the death of three soldiers.

Mobile internet was blocked in several areas, as militants use it to coordinate their actions. Recently, there has been an increase in violent incidents in Balochistan, including attacks by militants who demand more control over provincial resources, actively attacking military units.

Pakistan accuses India and the Taliban government in Afghanistan of supporting the militants, although no evidence has been provided. Both countries deny these accusations.
