Security forces carried out a swift intelligence-based operation in Bannu, eliminating twenty-two dangerous terrorists hiding in the area. The mission was launched after credible reports indicated the presence of militants preparing attacks against security installations. Officials confirmed that the operation was conducted with precision to minimise risks for civilians.
The terrorists opened fire when forces approached, prompting an immediate and effective response from the troops. Heavy weapons were recovered from the site following the intense exchange of fire.
Authorities stated that several high-value militants were among the dead, marking a major blow to networks involved in recent attacks. The operation reflects the increased vigilance of security agencies as militant activity rises in multiple regions.
Local residents reported hearing continuous gunfire as the confrontation unfolded overnight. Security forces cleared the area once the threat was neutralised, ensuring the safety of nearby villages.
Officials added that more intelligence-based operations will be conducted to track down remaining militant facilitators. Forces reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace and stability across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The successful action has boosted public confidence as the province continues to face security challenges from organised militant groups.
