Pakistan’s security forces killed five terrorists with links to Indian proxies in two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on June 15-16. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the terrorists were involved in multiple attacks and were eliminated in Peshawar and North Waziristan districts.
In the first operation, security forces surrounded a hideout in Peshawar district after receiving intelligence about Indian-sponsored terrorists. After a fierce exchange of fire, four terrorists, including Kharji Haris and Kharji Baseer, were killed. The ISPR confirmed that the militants were actively engaged in terrorist activities in the region.
A second IBO was conducted in North Waziristan, where security forces engaged and killed another terrorist linked to Indian proxies. Authorities recovered weapons, ammunition, and explosives, further dismantling the terror network.
The ISPR stated that sanitization operations are ongoing to eliminate any remaining threats. Pakistan’s armed forces remain determined to root out terrorism, particularly those supported by external hostile agencies. The successful operations underscore Pakistan’s commitment to national security and regional stability.
