In North Waziristan of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, seven terrorists were eliminated on Friday in an intelligence-based operation, according to state media. The security forces pursued the terrorists of Fitna al Khawarij with determination and combat skills, ultimately destroying their hideouts, reported Radio Pakistan. Fitna al Khawarij refers to terrorists linked to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
President Asif Ali Zardari praised the security forces for their successful operation, stating in a statement issued by his office that the efforts to eliminate terrorism and establish lasting peace under the Azm-i-Istehkam initiative are commendable. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been grappling with terrorist attacks and security challenges for an extended period.
In August, the province recorded 54 terrorist attacks compared to 36 in July, marking a 50 percent increase, as per data compiled by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS). On September 30, three terrorists were killed in an intelligence-based operation in KP's Mir Ali. A day earlier, security forces eliminated five terrorists in an operation in KP's Bara area.
On September 30, an intelligence-based operation in Dera Ismail Khan resulted in the death of four terrorists. Last week, a suicide blast targeting the Aman Mela police checkpost in DI Khan's Darazinda tehsil claimed the lives of eight people and injured 35 others.
