Security forces have achieved another major success in the ongoing fight against terrorism. Eight militants were killed during a large-scale operation conducted in the Sultan Khel area of Lakki Marwat district.
According to security sources, the Lakki Marwat security forces operation was launched based on credible intelligence about the presence of armed militants in the area. The terrorists opened fire on the forces, triggering a fierce exchange of gunfire. In response, security personnel carried out a swift and well-coordinated counterattack, killing eight militants on the spot.
Weapons, explosives, and other military equipment were recovered from the site after the encounter. The operation was aimed at dismantling the network of extremists responsible for previous attacks on law enforcement personnel and public installations in the region.
Officials stated that the Lakki Marwat security forces operation is part of broader counterterrorism efforts taking place across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Over the past few months, intelligence agencies have been closely monitoring the activities of militants who were attempting to regroup in remote areas near the tribal belt.
The successful operation in Sultan Khel is being hailed as a significant blow to the remaining terrorist elements in the province. A search and clearance operation was later conducted to ensure that no suspects escaped from the area. Authorities have also increased surveillance and tightened security around key routes and settlements.
A senior security official said that such operations would continue until complete peace is restored. He added that the armed forces remain fully committed to eliminating terrorism from the country and ensuring the safety of citizens.
Highlighting ongoing national efforts to strengthen security frameworks, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority recently concluded an Aviation Security Supervisor Course in collaboration with the UK. The initiative reflects Pakistan’s growing focus on improving security standards across all sectors.
Residents of Lakki Marwat praised the security forces for their courage and dedication. Local leaders said that the operation had restored a sense of safety in the region, which had long suffered from militant activities. Citizens expressed hope that continuous actions like these would finally bring lasting peace to their communities.
The Lakki Marwat security forces operation stands as another testament to Pakistan’s resolve against terrorism. It sends a clear message that extremist networks will not be allowed to destabilize the country’s peace and progress.
