At least three terrorists were killed in two separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Monday. \u201cMovement of a group of khwarij, opposite general area Esham, North Waziristan District, who were trying to infiltrate through Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was picked up by the security forces.\u201d The military\u2019s media wing said troops effecttively engaged the group of khawarij. \u201cAs a result of precise and skillful engagement, two khwarij belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna al Khwarij were sent to hell.\u201d In July, the government designated the banned terrorist outfit Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan as Fitna al Khawarij, mandating all institutions to use the term khariji (outcast) when referring to the perpetrators of terrorist attacks on Pakistan. The ISPR added that one of the terrorists killed was identified as Qasim, and Afghan national who was serving in the Afghan Border Police. In another intelligence-based operation (IBO) in KP\u2019s Tank district, security forces killed another terrorist, identified as Ikramuddin aka Abu Dajana, also an Afghan national. \u201cThese incidents reveal continued involvement of Afghan nationals in numerous terrorist activities against innocent civilians and security forces inside Pakistan.\u201d \u201cPakistan has repeatedly been asking Interim Afghan Government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border and is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by Khwarij and involvement of its citizens in terrorism inside Pakistan,\u201d said the ISPR. The statement added that the security forces of Pakistan remain \u201cresolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation\u2019s frontiers\u201d. A sanitisation operation was launched in the area to eliminate any \u201cother Indian sponsored Kharji\u201d. Last week, the deputy chief of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Amjad alias Mazahim, was killed in an IBO. According to ISPR, Amjad was a deputy to TTP chief Noor Wali Mehsud and headed the group\u2019s Rehbari Shura. Pakistan has seen a surge in terrorist attacks, particularly in KP and Balochistan, mostly targeting police, law enforcement personnel, and security forces. The spike followed the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan\u2019s breach of a ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
