Security forces gunned down nine terrorists belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al-Khawarij during two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday.
The operations were conducted in Dera Ismail Khan and Bannu districts on December 19, read a press release issued by the military’s media wing.
Forces conducted an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Dera Ismail Khan district on the reported presence of terrorists.
“During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the khawarij location and after an intense fire exchange, four khawarij were sent to hell,” the ISPR said.
Another IBO was conducted in Bannu district, where “five more khawarij were effectively neutralised by the security forces”, it added.
