In a decisive blow to terrorism, security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa eliminated six Khwarij in two separate intelligence-based operations on April 20-21, 2025.
The first operation took place in the general area of Razmak, North Waziristan, where security forces, acting on intelligence reports, successfully engaged a group of Khwarij. In the ensuing confrontation, five terrorists were neutralised.
In a separate operation in South Waziristan, forces targeted and killed the notorious Khwarij ring leader Zabi Ullah alias Zakran. Zakran was a key figure in several terrorist activities, including attacks on security forces and the targeted killing of innocent civilians. He had been on the law enforcement agencies’ most-wanted list.
Following these successful operations, a sensitisation effort is underway to ensure that no other terrorists remain in the area. Pakistan’s security forces remain committed to eradicating terrorism and securing the peace for all citizens.
