Nokundi, Balochistan: Security forces have recovered 150 kilograms of explosive material during an intelligence-based operation in the Nokundi area of Chagai district, thwarting an alleged major terrorist attack plan.

The explosives were recovered from the Azad area of Nokundi as part of Operation Radd-ul-Fitna 3. According to initial findings, the material had reportedly been brought from abroad and concealed underground in 10 separate containers. Authorities believe the explosives were intended for use in suicide attacks and improvised explosive device (IED) attacks in Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan.

Major Recovery and Disruption of Terrorist Logistics

The recovery of such a large quantity of explosives represents a significant blow to the alleged logistical infrastructure of terrorist networks operating in the region.

Key Highlights

150kg of Explosives Recovered: Security forces discovered 10 underground containers containing approximately 150 kilograms of explosive material in Nokundi’s Azad area.

Logistics Network Disrupted: The operation reportedly exposed and disrupted an underground storage and supply network used to conceal explosive materials.

Continuation of Counterterrorism Operations: The development follows a security operation in Panjgur on August 19, during which five alleged militants were killed and weapons, ammunition, IED-related material, communications equipment and vehicles were reportedly recovered.

Counterterrorism Operations Continue Across Balochistan

The Nokundi operation highlights the broader focus of Operation Radd-ul-Fitna 3 on disrupting terrorist networks, weapons and explosives caches, logistical routes and support structures in addition to targeting militants themselves.

The recovery in Nokundi, following the reported Panjgur operation, reflects continued security efforts aimed at preventing attacks and disrupting terrorist infrastructure in Balochistan.
