RAWALPINDI – Pakistan’s security forces continue to eliminate hard-core militants and a recent operation in the northwestern region resulted in the killing of five Fitna Al Khawarij men.
A statement shared by Army’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations ISPR said security forces conducted an intelligence-driven operation based on reports of khawarij militants in Tirah area of Khyber District.
During the operation, armed forces effectively targeted the militant’s position, resulting in the death of five militants, including their leader Abidullah Turab. During the operation, one militant was captured by armed forces.
