Security forces killed four terrorists during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Dera Ismail Khan district on Monday, the military’s media wing said.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was conducted on the reported presence of terrorists belonging to what it termed as “Indian proxy, Fitna al Khwarij.”
“During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location and after an intense fire exchange, four khwarij were sent to hell,” the ISPR said in a statement.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who, the statement added, had remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.
A sanitisation operation was under way to eliminate any other terrorists found in the vicinity, it said.
The ISPR reiterated that the counter-terrorism campaign under the vision “Azm-e-Istehkam,” approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, would continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.
