The 21 militants killed in recent security operations in Pakistan have been identified as Afghan nationals. According to sources, these militants had crossed the border from Afghanistan and were attempting to carry out destructive activities in various regions of Pakistan.
The security forces neutralized these militants during operations conducted earlier this week. A major terrorist network was dismantled in the process, and weapons, explosives, and other sensitive materials were recovered from their possession.
This incident highlights the growing tension along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where the presence of militants has been increasing. Pakistani authorities have stated that these militants, operating from various areas within Afghanistan, are crossing into Pakistan to target security forces.
Following this successful operation, Pakistan hopes for increased cooperation from the Afghan government to counter the activities of militants on both sides of the border.
Pakistan’s security forces have appealed to the public to immediately report any information about the presence of militants to the relevant authorities, in order to prevent further destructive activities.
Investigations so far have shown that these militants were operating under the influence of terrorist groups based in Afghanistan, who continue to make efforts to destabilise Pakistan.
