Security forces have successfully neutralised nine India-backed terrorists in a series of intelligence-based operations across Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, and Khyber districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the military’s media wing, ISPR, confirmed.
According to the ISPR, the operations were launched on the night between Saturday and Sunday, targeting members of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), referred to as “Khwarij.” The terrorists were killed during intense exchanges of fire, and a cache of weapons and ammunition was recovered from their possession.
