KHARAN: On 15 January 2026, a group of 15–20 Indian-sponsored terrorists from Fitna Al Hindustan carried out coordinated attacks in Kharan City, targeting the City Police Station, National Bank of Pakistan, and Habib Bank Limited.
During the attacks, the terrorists looted Rs 3.4 million from the banks.
Security forces responded swiftly, engaging the terrorists and forcing them to retreat. In a series of three clearance operations, twelve terrorists were eliminated, and their attempt to take hostages at the police station was successfully thwarted.
Sanitization operations are ongoing in the area to ensure no other terrorists remain. Pakistan’s security forces, under the counter-terrorism campaign “Azm-e-Istehkam,” approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, remain committed to eradicating foreign-sponsored terrorism from the country.
