Security forces have killed nine terrorists affiliated with Indian proxy Fitna al-Khawarij in two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) conducted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday.
According to a press release issued by the military’s media wing, the security forces conducted separate operations on December 5 on the reported presence of terrorists in KP’s Tank and Lakki Marwat districts.
During the conduct of operation in Tank, the ISPR said, security forces “effectively engaged the khwarij location and after an intense fire exchange, seven terrorists were sent to hell.”
In another operation conducted in Lakki Marwat, security forces neutralised two more khwarij, the ISPR statement added.
“Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from killed Indian sponsored khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces, law enforcement agencies and target killing of innocent civilians,” it added.
Furthermore, the ISPR said sanitisation operations were being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored terrorists found in the area.
“Counterterrorism campaign under vision ‘Azm e Istehkam’ by security forces and law enforcement agencies will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,” it added.
