Operation Shaban Militant Death Toll Surpasses 100

The militant death toll in Operation Shaban surpassed 100, with security sources reporting 64 militants killed directly under the operation and 102 in total when combined with other intelligence-based operations conducted since the July 5 launch. The latest 24-hour period alone accounted for 16 militant deaths as the Pakistan Army, Frontier Corps, and Balochistan Police continued coordinated ground assaults backed by aerial operations against Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan ('Fitna al-Khawarij') hideouts across the province's mountainous terrain.
