Security forces eliminated four terrorists, including two local operatives, during an exchange of fire in the remote Spreh area near the Kabul River in Lower Mohmand, according to local sources.
The encounter took place in the vicinity of the river, where security personnel engaged the terrorists. Four members of the terrorist group were killed during the exchange, while two of those eliminated were identified as local residents.
The remote location of the encounter, close to the Kabul River, makes the area significant from a security perspective, particularly given the challenges of monitoring movement through isolated terrain and riverbank routes.
The identities of the four terrorists and their organizational affiliations were not immediately available. Details about any weapons recovered, possible casualties among security personnel or follow-up search operations also remained unclear.
Security forces continue intelligence-led operations in the tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to track terrorist networks, disrupt their movement and prevent them from establishing operational footholds in remote areas.
Further details about the encounter were awaited.
