Security forces have eliminated Hidayat, alias Badri, a khariji commander affiliated with a banned terrorist organization, during an operation in the Subati Kach area of Jandola in Tank district, according to local sources.
Sources said Hidayat was killed during the security operation, although the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. No further details were immediately available regarding the nature of the operation, whether it followed intelligence about the commander’s presence in the area, or whether any other individuals were killed or injured.
Hidayat, known by the alias Badri, was identified by sources as a commander associated with a banned organization. However, the group’s name and his specific role within its operational structure could not be independently established from the information available.
The reported development comes amid continuing security challenges in the adjoining districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where security forces have conducted operations against terrorist networks. Tank and the surrounding areas have faced security threats linked to the presence and movement of armed groups, making counterterrorism efforts in the region a persistent concern.
However, no specific connection between the reported operation and any wider security campaign has been established.
As of the latest available information, the reported killing has not been officially confirmed by the relevant authorities. Details concerning the operation’s objectives, its outcome beyond the reported death, and any possible recovery of weapons or other material remain unavailable.
Further information is awaited as more details emerge.
