Five terrorists killed in three different operations: ISPR

A total of five terrorists were killed by security forces in three separate operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) on Sunday and Monday, the military's media wing reported.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a joint intelligence-based operation was conducted in Mohmand District, and three terrorists, including Kharji Qari of Fitna Al Khawarij, were successfully neutralised.

During the operation, the terrorists’ hideout was also busted and a cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives was recovered. However, during an intense fire exchange, Police Constable Abrar Hussain (resident of District Swabi) of K-P Police, having fought gallantly, embraced martyrdom.

In the intelligence-based operation conducted in Dera Ismail Khan District, security forces effectively engaged terrorists’ location, as a result of which Kharji Sifatullah Mullah Mansoor of Fitna Al Khawarij was killed, while three other terrorists got injured.

Sifatullah was involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area, including the facilitation of a suicide bombing attack in Daraban on December 12, 2023 and was highly wanted by law enforcement agencies.

In another operation conducted in North Waziristan District, another Kharji terrorist of Fitna Al Khawarij was killed by the security forces.

Pakistan’s security forces stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other law enforcement agencies to ensure peace and stability across the country. The ISPR stated that such sacrifices of brave men further strengthen the armed forces' resolve.
