At least 12 Khwarji terrorists were killed in ongoing intelligence-based operations (IBOs) by security forces in Khyber district’s Tirah Valley on August 28 and 29, according to a statement from the military on Friday.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that extensive IBOs have been underway in the region since 20 August, targeting the reported presence of Khwarij elements.
“On 28 & 29 August, our troops effectively engaged Khwarij locations, where, after intense fire exchanges, twelve Khwarij of Fitna-Al-Khwarij [Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)] were sent to hell,” the statement said.
The ISPR noted that these operations have dealt a major setback to Fitna-Al-Khwarij and its affiliates. “So far, 37 terrorists have been sent to hell, while 14 terrorists have suffered serious injuries,” it added.
The military emphasised that the IBOs will continue until peace is fully restored in the area and all Khwarij elements are eliminated.
“The security forces of Pakistan remain determined to eradicate the menace of terrorism from the country.”
