Bajaur: Five Indian-sponsored Khwarij were killed, while a son of soil embraced martyrdom, in an intelligence-based operation in the Khar area of Bajaur district.

According to Radio Pakistan, Security Forces, on the reported presence of Khwarij belonging to the Indian Proxy, Fitna al Khwarij in the area, conducted the operation. During the intense fire exchange, Major Adeel Zaman, who was leading his troops from the front, rendered the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat.

Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed Khwarij, who remained actively involved in terrorist activities against the Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies as well as the killing of innocent civilians.

Sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored Khwarij found in the area. The relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under the vision “Azm e Istehkam,” as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan, will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.
