Security forces neutralised eight India-sponsored terrorists during an engagement along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in North Waziristan District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Thursday.
According to the military’s media wing, a movement of a group of India-backed militants, also known as Fitna al-Khawarij, was picked up by the security forces on April 1.
The ISPR added that security forces effectively engaged the group of terrorists, adding that as a result of “precise and skillful engagement,” eight of them were gunned down. It said that weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists.
“The engagement once again substantiates our repeated stance regarding the abject failure of the Afghan Taliban regime to ensure effective border management on their side of the border. Afghan Taliban Regime must fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by khwarij and involvement of its citizens in terrorism inside Pakistan,” said the ISPR.
