A major security operation is underway in Orakzai district as Pakistani forces target Khawarij hideouts across multiple locations, official sources confirmed Tuesday.
According to government sources, over 10 terrorists of Fitna Al-khawarij were killed during intense clashes. Thirteen personnel of the Frontier Corps, including several officers, sustained injuries in the firefight.
The operation, still ongoing, involves joint efforts by the Pakistan Army, Frontier Corps, local police, and Levies forces. It was launched in response to escalating terrorist activity in the region.
Officials reported that late last night, Khawarij set fire to a Basic Health Unit (BHU) in the Khwaga Serhee area, prompting an immediate military response.
Security forces continue to comb the area for remaining threats, with aerial surveillance and ground troops deployed in high-risk zones. More updates are expected as the operation progresses.
