At least nine terrorists were killed in three separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) conducted by Pakistan’s security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on May 24 and 25, the military said in a statement on Sunday.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operations targeted “Indian-sponsored terrorists” hideouts in Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, and Khyber districts based on credible intelligence about the presence of militants.
In the first operation in Dera Ismail Khan, four terrorists were killed following an intense exchange of fire. A second engagement in the Tank district resulted in the killing of two more terrorists. In a third operation in the Bagh area of Khyber district, security forces neutralised three additional terrorists.
