Two soldiers were martyred and 14 terrorists were killed in an intelligence-based operation in North Waziristan, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The operation targeted multiple khwarij locations in and around Mir Ali, Datta Khel, and surrounding areas. In the span of twelve hours, 12 khwarij, including two Afghan nationals from the Indian-sponsored Fitna al Khwarij group, were eliminated.
Additionally, two khwarij were neutralised in Mir Ali and Datta Khel, respectively. Havildar Asmat Ali and Naik Aftab Ali were among those who lost their lives. The operation also resulted in the recovery of weapons and ammunition from the deceased terrorists, who were involved in various terrorist activities, including civilian killings.
President Asif Ali Zardari paid tribute to the security forces for their successful operation and pledged to continue the counterterrorism campaign to eliminate the threat of foreign-sponsored terrorism. This operation comes in the wake of another recent operation that killed 74 terrorists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. The surge in terrorism in the region, particularly in KP and Balochistan, since the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) called off its ceasefire deal with the government in November 2022, has been a cause for concern.
