Security forces in Pakistan's Balochistan province have intensified anti-terror operations under 'Operation Shaban', eliminating 121 militants since July 5.The joint effort by the Army, Frontier Corps, and police follows a deadly attack on a Mangi Dam police station in Ziarat.

Recent operations have resulted in significant militant casualties, with weapons like M4 rifles and rocket launchers recovered from killed terrorists.However, terrorist attacks have also claimed civilian lives, with 42 people martyred in recent incidents.

The government attributes the surge in violence to Afghan Taliban activities since 2021, prompting counter-operations like 'Operation Ghazab lil-Haq'.Despite diplomatic efforts, tensions persist due to the Taliban's reluctance to address cross-border terrorism.The military emphasizes continued operations until all militants are eliminated, highlighting the complex security challenges facing the region.
