Security forces, LEAs kill eight terrorists in Bannu operation: ISPR

Security forces and law enforcement agencies (LEAs) have killed eight terrorists in a joint intelligence based operation in Bannu district, the military’s media wing said on Saturday.

The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the armed forces engaged location of the Khwarij on Friday. “After an intense fire exchange, eight Khwarij belonging to Indian Proxy Fitna Al Khwarij were sent to hell,” the ISPR said.

The ISPR said weapons and ammunition were also recovered from killed Indian sponsored Khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces, law enforcement agencies and target killing of innocent civilians.

“The operation underscores the strengthened collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies and security forces, who have significantly intensified intelligence-driven operations in the region. These meticulously coordinated and synchronised security measures are designed to constrict the operational mobility of Khwarij elements, systematically dismantle their facilitation networks, and curtail their capacity to reorganise.

“Operations are producing substantial and measurable success with continuous efforts to achieve more peace and stability,” it said.
