RAWALPINDI: Over 25 “Fitna Al-Khawarij” terrorists killed from across the border, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have thwarted infiltration attempts by security forces, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The ISPR said security forces monitored the suspicious movement of two large terrorist groups near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Kurram and North Waziristan districts. The groups were attempting to infiltrate Pakistani territory.
The forces effectively engaged the militants, killing 15 terrorists in North Waziristan’s Spinwam area, including four suicide bombers belonging to the India-backed outfit “Fitna Al-Khawarij.”
Another 10 terrorists were killed in the Ghokhi area of Kurram while trying to cross the border. A large cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was recovered during the operation.
The ISPR confirmed that five soldiers embraced martyrdom during the fierce exchange of fire. The martyrs were identified as Havaldar Manzoor Hussain, Sepoy Nauman Ilyas Kayani, Sepoy Muhammad Adeel, Sepoy Shah Jehan, and Sepoy Ali Asghar.
The infiltration attempts come amid ongoing talks between Pakistani and Afghan delegations in Türkiye, raising questions about the Afghan interim government’s sincerity in curbing terrorism from its soil.
Pakistan has repeatedly urged Kabul to ensure effective border management and fulfill its commitments under the Doha Agreement to prevent the use of Afghan territory against Pakistan.
