From September 3 to 5, security forces across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province killed 21 terrorists, reported the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). This brought the total number of terrorists eliminated by security forces in border-related operations in the region since August 31 to 25, including an additional 10 killed in North Waziristan following an earlier engagement along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
A further seven terrorists were killed in an encounter in a district where a group of them was moving along the Afghanistan border. Two more terrorists were eliminated in separate joint operations in Kohat and Dera Ismail Khan districts. The military emphasized Pakistan's concerns about the use of Afghan soil for cross-border terrorism, with sanitization operations ongoing to eliminate any remaining terrorists.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hailed the security forces for eliminating India-sponsored terrorists in the KP operations and expressed the nation's pride in the armed forces and law enforcement agencies' professional capabilities. He reaffirmed the whole nation's solidarity with the security forces in the ongoing war against terrorism.
