Security forces conducted a successful intelligence-based operation in the Kulachi area of DI Khan on the day of Eid-ul-Azha, resulting in the elimination of a most wanted terrorist, according to official security sources.
Acting on credible intelligence regarding the presence of Khawarij elements in the area, security forces launched a precise and targeted operation aimed at dismantling terrorist activity and neutralizing high-value targets operating within the region.
During the operation, security forces eliminated a terrorist identified as Muawiya, described as a most wanted individual and a key operative within the local terror network. Sources further confirmed that Muawiya was the nephew of Khawarij commander Farman alias Saqib, indicating close familial and operational links within the militant structure.
Security officials stated that Muawiya had been involved in multiple acts of terrorism and was considered a significant facilitator and active participant in anti-state activities. His elimination is being viewed as a major operational success in ongoing efforts to disrupt organized Khawarij networks in the region.
Further intelligence assessments revealed that another key figure, Khawarij commander Shahid alias Sufi Kamran, remains actively involved in coordinating terrorist activities in the broader area. Security forces continue to monitor his movements as part of expanded counterterrorism operations aimed at dismantling remaining support structures.
Officials emphasized that the operation was carried out with precision based on real-time intelligence inputs, reflecting the enhanced capability of security forces to conduct timely and effective strikes against high-value targets.
A senior security official stated that such intelligence-driven operations are part of a sustained campaign to eliminate terrorism and ensure long-term stability in DI Khan and surrounding regions. “No element involved in terrorism will be allowed to operate freely,” the official noted.
Authorities further confirmed that counterterrorism efforts in the region will continue with increased intensity, focusing on the identification, tracking, and elimination of remaining Khawarij elements and their facilitators.
The operation on Eid-ul-Azha underscores the continued vigilance of security forces even during religious and public holidays, highlighting their commitment to maintaining peace and security across the country.
Residents of the area have reportedly expressed relief over the successful operation, viewing it as a significant step toward restoring lasting peace and stability in the region.
