An ongoing operation in the Darpakhel area of Miranshah, North Waziristan, has resulted in the capture of three Khawarij alive and the neutralization of four others, according to local and security sources.
The operation was initiated following the reported martyrdom of a local tribal elder, Malik Saifullah, also known as Saiful Dawar. In response, members of the Darpakhel tribe reportedly mobilized and took action against the group identified as Khawarij associated with the Gul Bahadur network.
During the ensuing developments, three individuals linked to the group were taken into custody alive, while four others were neutralized in the exchange of fire. The situation remains fluid, and clearance operations are ongoing in the area to ensure full control and security.
Local sources indicate that the incident has triggered a significant response from the community, reflecting heightened tensions in the region following the killing of the tribal elder. Security forces have been informed and are closely monitoring the evolving situation to maintain order and prevent further escalation.
