Pakistan security forces killed 34 Fitna al-Khawarij in multiple operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, VOS News reported on Thursday, quoting Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
According to ISPR, an intelligence-based operation was carried out in Spinwam area of North Waziristan, where 18 terrorists were killed during an intense exchange of fire.
In a separate operation in South Waziristan, eight more Fitna al Khawarij were eliminated, while another eight were killed in Bannu, ISPR stated.
The military’s media wing added that Pakistan’s security forces remain fully committed to eradicating India-sponsored terrorism in line with the vision of “Azm-e-Istehkam.”
Tensions at the Durand Line increased in the recent days after Afghan Taliban and Khawarij attacked Pakistani posts, resulting in strong response from the security forces.
