Pakistan security forces eliminated 22 Indian-backed terrorists during sanitization operations in Balochistan on February 2, 2026, between 3:15:38 PM and 3:45:40 PM UTC, raising the three-day total to 177 killed, according to Pakistan TV Global. The operations targeted Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) militants amid ongoing counter-terrorism efforts. A FC Balochistan soldier sniper shot one female Afghan Hajat Ts (FAH Ts) terrorist in Nushki, Balochistan, as reported by @War_Analysts on X. Separately, medicines and night vision goggles (NVG) were recovered from arrested terrorists in Nushki, per @zarrar_11PK. US-made weapons including ANPVS-7D, M16, and two M4 rifles were seized from killed BLA terrorists, according to @Jana_Shah. The BLA claimed a 60-year-old woman, Haatam Naz, conducted a suicide attack in the second phase of its "Operation Herof," following an earlier claim of a 70-year-old Fazal Baloch as a suicide attacker, as stated by @ImtiazBaluch on X. In unrelated activity, Umar Media released a video geolocating the MNWM location near Nuristan national park in Kunar, Afghanistan, per @MinionKingX74. The Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) reported 87 militant attacks nationwide in January 2026, a 28% increase from 68 in December 2025, according to Dawn.com. No direct connections to prior India-J&K arbitration or Ladakh tensions were noted in these sources.
