Pakistan army killed 74 militants in border raids

ISLAMABAD, Nov 13: Pakistan’s army has reported that it has killed 74 armed fighters in multiple raids in areas along the country’s borders with Afghanistan.

Thirty-one “terrorists” have been killed in the southwestern Balochistan province since November 3, with multiple weapons, explosives and ammunition recovered, the military’s news division said in a statement posted on social media on Friday.

Balochistan is the site of an armed rebellion waged by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which seeks independence from Pakistan for the region.

Another 35 fighters were killed in the past two days during separate raids on Mir Ali, while eight were killed in Orakzai, and weapons were recovered, the force added in an update.
