Security forces killed 11 Khwarij during separate intelligence-based operations in North Waziristan and Kurram districts, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Tuesday. The operations took place as part of ongoing efforts to curb militant activity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to ISPR, security forces launched the operations after receiving intelligence about the presence of armed militants in the two areas.
Details of the Security Operations
ISPR said security forces engaged the militants during the operations, leading to exchanges of fire. As a result, 11 Khwarij were neutralised, the statement added.
In addition, troops recovered weapons and ammunition from the militants. Officials said the recovered material indicated their involvement in attacks against security forces and civilians.
Operations in North Waziristan and Kurram
North Waziristan has remained a key focus of counterterrorism efforts due to past militant activity. Similarly, authorities have carried out security operations in Kurram from time to time to maintain law and order.
ISPR said these actions form part of a wider campaign to clear the areas of militant elements and prevent future security threats.
Security Forces’ Commitment
The military reaffirmed that security forces remain fully committed to eliminating terrorism from the country. According to ISPR, these operations aim to protect civilians and ensure lasting peace in affected regions.
Moreover, the statement highlighted the continued sacrifices of security personnel in maintaining stability and security.
Context and Background
In recent years, Pakistan has increased intelligence-based operations, especially in border and former tribal districts. Authorities say these measures target militant networks and restrict their movement.
At the same time, officials stress that restoring peace in these areas remains essential for long-term development and public safety.
What Happens Next
Security forces will continue intelligence-led operations and surveillance in sensitive areas to prevent any resurgence of militant activity. Meanwhile, authorities have urged citizens to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and report suspicious activity.
ISPR reiterated that Pakistan’s security forces remain determined to eliminate all threats to peace and national security.
