Security forces neutralised four India-sponsored terrorists during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Dera Ismail Khan district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Monday.
The IBO was conducted on February 23 following the reported presence of “khwarij belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna al Khwarij,” the military’s media wing said.
It added that troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location and killed them after an intense fire exchange during the operation.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.
A sanitisation operation was launched to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored terrorist found in the area, the ISPR statement read.
“The relentless counter-terrorism campaign under vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” (as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,” the statement added.
