Terrorist Hideout Raided in Balochistan Amid Rising Security Concerns
Karachi, Pakistan – December 29, 2025 (The Hindu e-Paper) – Pakistani security forces killed four terrorists in a raid on a suspected hideout in the Kalat district of Balochistan, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The raid comes amidst growing concerns about escalating violence in the country.
Last week, the ISPR reported the deaths of at least 17 terrorists during intelligence-based operations in other regions of Balochistan.
These operations follow a report released by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) declaring 2025 as the deadliest year for terrorism in Pakistan. The report documented 2,115 casualties attributed to terrorist activity throughout the year. Tragically, 664 security personnel and 580 civilians lost their lives in terror-related incidents.
The PICSS report highlights a significant increase in both the frequency and severity of terrorist attacks in Pakistan during 2025, pushing key security indicators to alarming levels.
