Pakistani security forces have killed eight militants, including a suicide bomber, in the Kolpur area of Balochistan, according to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) issued on 14 November 2026. The military’s media wing described the dead as members of Fitna al Hindustan (FAH), which it called an Indian-sponsored group.
The ISPR also said two soldiers were killed in a separate attack on a patrol. Security forces recovered a large cache of weapons and ammunition during the operation.
Clearance operations across Kolpur, Kardagap and Nushki
The ISPR said security forces had been carrying out several intelligence-led operations since 13 November 2026 in Kolpur, Kardagap and Nushki. These activities include area clearance, security patrols and efforts to protect the Quetta–Taftan National Highway (N-40) for local traffic.

Quadcopter attack on military vehicles claims two lives
The ISPR said militants targeted military vehicles on patrol on 14 November 2026 using armed quadcopters. It named Major Omer Minhas Nasir, a resident of District Chakwal, and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan, a resident of Kotli Sattian, as those who were killed in the attack.
ISPR vows operations will continue until threat ends
The ISPR said the attacks would not weaken the resolve of security forces, and that clearance and intelligence-led operations would continue until the threat was eliminated. The military alleged that FAH, backed by India and other hostile intelligence agencies, is trying to use drones, other technical means and IEDs to target civilians and security forces.
The statement said India continues to provide FAH with full financial support and the latest equipment. It added that security forces are fully aware of this changing threat and will deny the militants any space, whatever methods they use.
The counter-terrorism campaign under “Azm-e-Istehkam”, approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, will continue at full pace. Security forces and law enforcement agencies remain determined to eliminate foreign-sponsored terrorism, the ISPR said, adding that the sacrifices of the martyrs strengthen that resolve.
