Rawalpindi: Security forces killed 15 militants in three separate intelligence-based operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday.

In the district of Karak, eight militants were killed during a targeted operation carried out on intelligence inputs. In another successful operation in North Waziristan, four terrorists were neutralized by security forces.

Tragically, the exchange of fire in North Waziristan resulted in the martyrdom of Lance Naik Usman Mohmand and Sepoy Imran Khan. Lance Naik Usman hailed from Charsadda, while Sepoy Imran was a resident of Kurram district.

Meanwhile, in the Gomal Zam area of South Waziristan, three more militants were killed during a separate operation. The forces recovered weapons and ammunition from the slain terrorists, who were reportedly involved in multiple subversive activities.
