At least 25 terrorists, including a ring leader, were gunned down by security forces in multiple ongoing intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Tirah valley of Khyber district since August 20, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the security forces are conducting “extensive IBOs” in Tirah valley against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) labelled as Fitna-Al-Khwarij and militant outfits “Laskar-e-Islam and Jamat-ul-Ahrar”.
These operations, it said, were based on robust intelligence and resulted into major setbacks to Fitna-Al-Khwarij and its affiliates.
During the intelligence-based operations being conducted since August 20, the security forces so far killed 25 terrorists, including a ring leader named Abuzar aka Saddam.
“However, four soldiers, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced martyrdom”, the ISPR added.
“The heavy losses inflicted upon Fitna-Al-Khwarij in these operations is testament to the valor and commitment of security forces to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country,” it concluded.
