ISPR Says 10 Militants Killed in Gwadar Operations, Denies Security Forces Casualties
Gwadar, Balochistan — October 23, 2026:
Pakistan’s military media wing, ISPR, says security forces killed 10 suspected militants, including a woman, during clearance operations following attacks near Gwadar city and the Gabd border crossing on October 22.
According to ISPR, one civilian was killed and several vehicles were damaged. The military stated that the operations had concluded without any security forces casualties.
ISPR also alleged that militants had coerced a Baloch woman into participating in the attacks, an allegation that has not been independently verified.
The military’s account differs from claims issued by the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), which reported substantial military casualties. Neither side’s casualty figures have been independently confirmed.
Independent verification is pending.
