ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): A Pakistan Army major was martyred while five Indian sponsored khwarij were killed in an operation in the Khar area of Bajaur district on Monday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
According to the military’s media wing, the security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation (IBO) on the reported presence of Khwarij belonging to India Proxy, Fitna al Khwarij.
“During the conduct of the operation, due to effective engagement by our troops, five Indian sponsored khwarij were sent to hell,” the statement said.
However, during the intense fire exchange, Major Adeel Zaman, 36, a resident of Dera Ismail Khan, embraced shahadat while leading his troops from the front.
“Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies as well as killing of innocent civilians,” it stated.
The statement further said that sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored kharji found in the area.
“Relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm e Istehkam” by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,” the military’s media wing said.
