Security forces on Friday killed eight Fitna al-Khawarij terrorists in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) carried out in the Tank District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the military’s media wing said.
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the Pakistan Armed Forces conducted the IBO in the area on the reported presence of terrorists.
“During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged khawarij locations, and after an intense fire exchange, eight Indian sponsored khawarij were sent to hell,” the ISPR statement read.
