10 terrorists killed in KP ops: ISPR

Security forces conducted multiple operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from September 15 to 17, resulting in the deaths of ten terrorists. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) revealed that an intelligence-led operation in North Waziristan targeted a hideout, killing six individuals affiliated with Indian-backed Fitna al-Khawarij, a group banned under the name Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Additionally, in Hangu, four more terrorists were killed in a clash.

Tragically, six soldiers were martyred on September 17 when an improvised explosive device (IED) struck a convoy, according to the ISPR. Both the weapons and ammunition from the slain terrorists were recovered, as stated by the military's media wing. The deceased terrorists were reportedly involved in various terrorist activities in the affected regions.

In Balochistan, specifically in Awaran district's Badrang area, security forces carried out an intelligence-based operation that resulted in the death of three terrorists. The ISPR reported that a substantial quantity of weapons and ammunition was seized from the terrorist group known as Fitna al Hindustan in Balochistan.
