Security forces carried out a swift and decisive intelligence-based operation in the Narmi Khel area of Bannu, resulting in the neutralization of over 25 terrorists. The operation delivered a significant blow to extremist networks operating in the region and showcased the precision and effectiveness of coordinated counterterrorism efforts.
During the operation, authorities recovered a substantial cache of explosives, firearms, and other weapons, which were intended for use in attacks against local communities and security installations. Initial reports indicate that among those killed were Afghan nationals, highlighting the cross-border dimensions of terrorist activity in the region.
Security forces continue to conduct comprehensive clearance operations across Narmi Khel to ensure that no remnants of terrorist networks remain and to restore full control over the area. These operations form part of a sustained campaign under the National Action Plan (NAP) aimed at eliminating violent extremist elements and ensuring long-term peace and security for the local population.
Officials emphasized that the operation was the result of meticulous intelligence gathering and coordination between various security agencies, reflecting Pakistan’s commitment to proactive counterterrorism measures. “Our forces remain committed to neutralizing every terrorist threat and preventing the spread of extremism in the region,” a senior security official said.
The operation has been widely recognized as a critical success in Pakistan’s ongoing fight against terrorism. Analysts note that such targeted, intelligence-driven operations not only disrupt the operational capabilities of terrorist groups but also deter future attacks by demonstrating the readiness and precision of security forces.
Authorities reaffirm that counterterrorism efforts will continue relentlessly until the complete elimination of remaining terrorists and the restoration of lasting peace and stability in Bannu and surrounding areas.
