Islamabad: Thirty-four terrorists were killed by security forces in a series of high-tempo, intelligence-driven operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

According to Radio Pakistan, twenty-six members of the group identified as Indian Proxy Fitna Al Khwarij were killed in four separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Additionally, eight members of Indian Proxy Fitna Al Hindustan were neutralized during an engagement in Sambaza, Balochistan.

Security forces detected the movement of khwarij near the general area of Hassan Khel in North Waziristan District, attempting to infiltrate through the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The forces effectively engaged this group, resulting in the elimination of one kharji from the Indian proxy group, Fitna al Khwarij, identified as an Afghan national.

An intelligence-based operation in Lakki Marwat District led to an intense fire exchange, where three khwarij were successfully neutralized. In two separate engagements in Narmi Khel, Bannu District, ten khwarij were neutralized, while another operation in Mir Ali, North Waziristan District, resulted in the elimination of twelve khwarij.

A fifth engagement in Sambaza, Zhob District, saw security forces conduct an intelligence-based operation, leading to the neutralization of eight terrorists associated with Fitna Al Hindustan after an intense fire exchange.

Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the Indian-sponsored khwarij and terrorists, who were actively involved in various terrorist activities in the region.

The Security Forces of Pakistan remain committed to defending the nation's frontiers, continuing sanitization operations to eliminate any remaining Indian-sponsored kharji in the area. The ongoing Counter Terrorism campaign, "Azm-e-Istehkam," approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, will persist at full strength to eradicate foreign-sponsored terrorism from the country.
