Security forces have destroyed five bunkers used by Fitna al-Khwarij in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, as clearance operations under Operation 11 Garaj continue to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and uncover hidden weapons and ammunition stockpiles.
According to details, the five bunkers were identified around facilities used by the Khwarij in Mir Ali and subsequently destroyed. Explosive materials were also present inside the bunkers.
In a significant development, local residents have also joined efforts against the Khwarij, with community members demolishing one of the group’s centers in the area.
Meanwhile, security forces recovered a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition concealed underground inside a Khwarij compound during a search operation. The cache was located near the terrorist center and Sar Qabila Mosque.
The recovered material included a suicide vest, rockets, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), detonators, heavy machine gun ammunition, communication equipment, two booklets containing information related to IED manufacturing, sniper equipment, a night-vision device and other military supplies.
The recovery of explosives, bomb-making material and specialized equipment highlights the range of weapons and resources stored at the location.
Clearance operations under Operation 11 Garaj are continuing against terrorist hideouts, defensive infrastructure, bunkers and weapons and ammunition stockpiles in Mir Ali.
The participation of local residents in demolishing a Khwarij center also reflects the growing role of community resistance in efforts to deny terrorist groups space and infrastructure in the area.
