Over 20 Terrorists Killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Operations:ISPR
Pakistan steps up military campaign against terrorists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with new operations.
KP – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Security forces killed at least 20 terrorists in two different engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on October 8 and 9, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement released on Monday. During an intelligence-based operation in the general vicinity of Shawal in North Waziristan, security forces killed eight terrorists. “During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location, eight Indian sponsored khwarij were sent to hell,” according to the military’s media arm.
In July, the government classified the outlawed terrorist organization Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan as Fitna al Khawarij, requiring all institutions to use the term khariji (outcast) while referring to terrorist assaults on Pakistan.
In the second IBO conducted in the Dara Adam Khel district of the province, 12 terrorists were killed after “an intense fire exchange”.
The military’s media wing added that sanitisation operations were being conducted in the areas to “eliminate any other Indian sponsored kharji found in the area”. It added that under Operation Azm-i-Istehkam, approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan, the 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”.

In June of last year, the federal government approved Operation Azm-i-Istehkam, a reenergized and refocused nationwide counterterrorism campaign.
On October 16, security forces killed 34 “India-ba¬cked” terrorists in several operations across KP over three days, according to military media wing.
Pakistan has seen an increase in terror operations in the last year, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, since the proscribed militant Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan’s truce with the government expired in November 2022.
