The killing of Hassan marks a major setback for the ISIS-K group, as he had been involved in key operations for several years. A seasoned commander and trusted figure within the organization, he played a central role in training and managing operatives who carried out attacks in Afghanistan.
ISIS-K has not yet issued any statement regarding his death.
Hassan’s killing in Karachi also underscores the city’s role as a hub for the group’s recruitment, temporary hideouts, and intelligence training.
