RAWALPINDI (Kashmir English): At least two security personnel were martyred, and 16 Khawarij were killed during several intelligence-based operations (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North Waziristan district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday.
The military’s media wing said that, in continuation of a series of IBOs being conducted by security forces, multiple Khwarij locations were engaged in the general area of Mir Ali, Datta Khel, and surroundings in North Waziristan.
It added that following fierce fire exchanges, in the last twelve hours, 12 terrorists, including two Afghan nationals belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Khwarij, were sent to hell in Ali Khel.
“Two khwarij each were neutralised in Mir Ali and Datta Khel, thereby causing a significant blow to the Khwarijs’ network operating in the area.”
The ISPR said that two soldiers, Havildar Asmat Ali (age: 43 years, resident of District Swabi) and Naik Aftab Ali (age: 32 years, resident of District Mardan), embraced martyrdom.
“Weapons and ammunition have also been recovered from killed Indian sponsored Khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities, including the killing of innocent civilians,” the military’s media wing said.
