Nine Militants Killed in Mastung Operation; Reports Say TTP Commander Osama Baloch Among Dead

Pakistani security forces killed nine militants after repelling an attempted attack on a security post in Kanak Valley, Mastung, on Wednesday, according to security sources. Two militants were initially killed during the exchange of fire and seven others were subsequently killed as forces pursued the group; one security personnel was reported injured.

Separate security-related accounts are reporting that Osama Baloch, described as an important TTP commander, was among those killed. WAR MONITOR has not yet found independent or official confirmation identifying him among the nine fatalities.

Footage circulating from the operation appears to show the use of surveillance or other modern technology by security forces. However, the specific systems involved and their role in the operation have not been officially detailed.

The Mastung action comes amid a series of security operations reported across Balochistan in recent days, including operations in Turbat and other areas.

Independent verification of Osama Baloch’s reported death is pending.
