Security forces have eliminated 23 militants in two separate intelligence-based operations in the Kurram district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

The ISPR said that 12 terrorists belonging to the India-backed extremist faction “Khawarij” were killed in a targeted operation after security forces effectively engaged their hideout. In another intelligence-driven action, 11 additional militants were neutralized.

The military’s media wing stated that follow-up clearance operations are underway in the area to eliminate any remaining threats. These operations form part of **Operation Azm-e-Istehkam**, aimed at eradicating terrorism and ensuring lasting stability in the region.
