Earlier in January, two terrorists of a proscribed terrorist organisation were killed in an intelligence-based operation in the suburbs of DG Khan carried out by Punjab Rangers. The terrorists were involved in kidnapping and killing of security forces personnel.

Countrywide raids were conducted as part of the continuing military offensive, operation Radd-ul-Fasaad against “latent threat of terrorism”. The operation was launched in February 2017.
