Security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have successfully eliminated five Kharijites in intelligence-based operations conducted in Peshawar and North Waziristan.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operations targeted militants linked to Indian-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan.

In Peshawar, four terrorists were killed, including Haris and Baseer. A separate operation in North Waziristan resulted in the death of one more militant following a gunfight.

During the raids, a large cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was recovered from the terrorists’ possession.

The ISPR stated that all the killed individuals were affiliated with Indian-sponsored extremist groups and involved in destabilising activities within the country.

The military’s spokesperson reaffirmed that security forces remain fully committed to eradicating anti-state elements and, with public support, are determined to establish lasting peace across the nation.
