An attempted attack on security forces by elements of Fitna al-Khawarij was successfully foiled on the main Mir Ali Road in North Waziristan. The incident occurred in a populated area at the time when a security forces convoy was passing through the locality.
Authorities have clarified that all rumors and misinformation circulating on social media and other platforms regarding the incident are baseless and do not reflect the ground reality.
According to official sources, militants affiliated with Fitna al-Khawarij attempted to ambush security forces near a civilian area. Security personnel responded promptly and effectively, preventing the attack and ensuring the safety of both the convoy and nearby residents.
Following the failed attempt, the attackers fled the scene. Security forces immediately cordoned off the area and initiated a search operation to track down the fleeing elements. Intermittent exchanges of fire have been reported, and a high state of alert has been imposed across the area.
Security forces remain in full control of the situation and continue to carry out operations to ensure the protection of civilians and the maintenance of peace and security in the region.
