Security forces have killed 34 “India-backed” terrorists during multiple operations that took place across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the last three days, the military’s media wing said in a statement on Thursday.
According to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), “From 13-15 October 2025, thirty-four khwarij belonging to Indian-proxy Fitna Al Khwarij were killed in multiple engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.”
It added that security forces conducted intelligence-based operations (IBO) in North Waziristan, South Waziristan, and Bannu districts of the province.
The first operation, it said, was carried out in the Spinwam area of North Waziristan district.
“During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij’s location, and after an intense fire exchange, eighteen khwarij were sent to hell,” it said.
According to the statement, another IBO was conducted in South Waziristan district, during which eight more terrorists were neutralised following an intense exchange of fire with the security forces.
“In [the] third encounter, [which] took place in [the] Bannu district, own troops successfully neutralised eight more khwarij.”
The ISPR added that sanitisation operations were being carried out in the said areas “to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored kharji”.
It further said that a “relentless counterterrorism campaign under the vision of Azm e Istehkam — as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan — by security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan, will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.”
