The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday that nine terrorists were eliminated in two separate intelligence-based operations (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank and Lakki Marwat districts.
In a statement issued today, the military’s media wing said that nine khwarij belonging to Indian proxy Fitna Al Khawarij were killed on December 5.
Fitna al Khawarij is a term the state uses for terrorists belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
It said an IBO was conducted in Tank on the reported presence of terrorists. “During the conduct of [the] operation, own troops effectively engaged the khawarij location, and after an intense fire exchange, seven khawarij were sent to hell,” the statement read.
In a separate IBO conducted in Lakki Marwat, “two more khawarij were effectively neutralised by security forces”.
ISPR said that weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the slain terrorists.
According to the military’s media wing, the eliminated terrorists “remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces, law enforcement agencies and target killing of innocent civilians”.
