Seven India-Backed Terrorists Killed in Counterterrorism Operations Across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

RAWALPINDI: Security forces eliminated seven India-backed *Fitna-e-Khawarij* terrorists during a series of effective operations conducted across multiple districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on November 18 and 19.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the first targeted operation was carried out in Mohmand following confirmed intelligence regarding the presence of terrorists. A fierce exchange of fire took place, resulting in four militants being sent “to hell.”

In a separate intelligence-based operation in Lakki Marwat, security forces engaged the terrorists and successfully killed two more militants. Another terrorist was neutralized during an encounter in Tank, bringing the total count to seven.

Following the engagements, clearance and sanitisation operations are underway in all affected areas to ensure that no remaining Indian-sponsored militants escape or regroup.

The spokesperson stated that under the federal Apex Committee’s approval of the National Action Plan, the ongoing *Azm-e-Istehkam* campaign remains in full force. Pakistan’s armed forces and law enforcement agencies are committed to intensifying counterterrorism efforts until the country is completely rid of foreign-supported militancy.
