As part of the efforts to curb the menace of terrorism, security forces have neutralised 23 Indian proxy Fitna al-Khawarij terrorists in separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Thursday.
Expanding on the operations carried out on November 19, the military’s media wing said that 12 terrorists were neutralised after an intense exchange of fire during a targeted operation conducted on reported presence of militants.
“Capitalising on intelligence with respect to presence of another group of khawarij, in same general area, in another intelligence-based operation, own troops successfully neutralised 11 more,” the ISPR’s statement added.
Noting that sanitisation operations were being conducted to eliminate any other terrorists in the area, the military’s media wing stressed that Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipeout menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism under the relentless counterterrorism campaign under vision “Azm e Istehkam” (as approved by federal apex committee on National Action Plan) by the security forces and LEAs.
