7 terrorists killed in two IBOs in North Waziristan: ISPR
Security Forces killed seven terrorists linked to the India-backed ‘Fitna al-Khawarij’ in two separate engagements in North Waziristan district of KPK, the Military’s media wing said on Thursday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intelligence-based operation was carried out in the Mir Ali area on December 1 after reports of the presence of Khawarij.
“During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the Khawarij location and, after an intense exchange of fire, six Khawarij were sent to hell,” the statement said.
A second intelligence-based operation was conducted in the Spinwam area, where “one more Khawarji was effectively neutralised by the security forces,” ISPR added.
The military reiterated that its counterterrorism campaign under the Azm-e-Istehkam framework, approved by the federal apex committee on the National Action Plan, would continue “at full pace” to eliminate foreign-sponsored terrorism from the country.
