Sanitisation of the areas is ongoing to ensure no further Khwarij presence remains in the region, military reports

Security forces killed four Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (Fitna Al-Khwarij) terrorists in two separate operations in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on October 9 and 10, as reported by the military's media wing on Thursday.

According to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the first operation occurred on Wednesday in the Janikhel area of Bannu district. 

Acting on intelligence reports regarding the presence of Fitna Al-Khwarij, security forces launched an operation. Following an intense exchange of fire, two terrorists were killed, ISPR reported.

In a separate operation on Thursday in the Hassan Khel area of North Waziristan district, security forces effectively engaged militant positions. After another gunfight, two additional terrorists were killed, it reported.

Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain militants, who were reportedly involved in numerous terrorist activities, including attacks on security forces, kidnappings, and targeted killings of civilians. 

The ISPR maintained that sanitisation of the areas is ongoing to ensure no further Khwarij presence remains in the region. Security forces reiterated their commitment to eliminating terrorism from the country.
