Security forces killed 19 terrorists belonging to the Indian proxy Fitna al-Khwaraj in separate operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on September 9 and 10, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Thursday.
According to the military’s media wing, three intelligence-based operations were carried out in Mohmand, North Waziristan and Bannu districts.
During the operations, 14 militants were killed in Mohmand, four in North Waziristan, and one in Bannu after intense exchanges of fire, the ISPR statement read.
The military’s media wing further said that weapons and ammunition were recovered from those killed, who were involved in numerous terrorist activities in these areas.
“Sanitisation operations are continuing in the surrounding areas to eliminate any remaining militants,” ISPR said, reiterating that Pakistan’s security forces remain committed to eradicating Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country.
