NORTH WAZIRISTAN: Security forces killed eight terrorists during an operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in North Waziristan district on Wednesday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), troops detected the movement of a group of terrorists. All eight terrorists were killed in the clash.
The military’s media wing described the terrorists as members of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), referring to them as “Fitna al Khwarij” and “Indian proxy.”
“Sanitisation operations are ongoing to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored terrorists in the area,” the ISPR said.

The ISPR once again criticised the Afghan Taliban regime for failing to control the border and prevent terrorists from using Afghan soil against Pakistan.
“The Afghan Taliban Regime must fulfil its obligations and stop khwarij from using Afghan territory to carry out terrorism inside Pakistan,” the statement demanded.
The military reaffirmed that security forces remain fully committed to defending the country’s borders and will continue their counter-terrorism operations.
The ongoing campaign under the “Azm-e-Istehkam” initiative, approved by the Federal Apex Committee, will proceed at full pace to eliminate foreign-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan, the ISPR added.
