Nine terrorists were killed in security forces operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

ISLAMABAD: Security forces neutralized nine terrorists in two separate operations conducted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday.

According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intelligence-based operation in Tira, Khyber District, resulted in the elimination of seven terrorists, including high-value targets Commander Najeeb Abdul Rehman and Commander Ishfaq Muavia. These individuals were actively involved in various terrorist activities and were wanted by law enforcement agencies.

The operation also led to the recovery of weapons, ammunition, and explosives.

In another operation in Lakki Marwat District, troops successfully engaged a terrorist location, resulting in the elimination of two terrorists.

Sanitization operations are ongoing in the area to ensure the elimination of any remaining threats.

The Security Forces of Pakistan remain committed to eradicating the threat of terrorism from the country.

Earlier, an army captain and a soldier were killed during an exchange of fire with terrorists in Peshawar’s Hassan Khel area, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

In a statement, the ISPR identified the martyrs as Captain Hussain Jahangir, 25, a resident of the Rahim Yar Khan district, and Havaldar Shafiq Ullah, 36, a resident of the Karak district. They were martyred during an operation against terrorists.

At least five terrorists were killed while three were injured in the operation. A sanitization operation was subsequently carried out to eliminate any remaining terrorists in the area.

“Security forces of Pakistan are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” the ISPR statement read.

This operation comes amid a surge in terrorist activities across the country, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan since the outlawed militant group Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan ended its ceasefire with the government in November 2022.

Earlier on April 9, security forces gunned down two terrorists in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in KP’s South Waziristan. The ISPR noted that the terrorists had been actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area. Weapons and a large quantity of explosives were also recovered from the slain terrorists.
