Security forces carried out a series of effective operations against the terrorists of the banned TTP, also known as Fitna al-Khawarij in North Waziristan, killing more than sixteen terrorists and injuring several others, according to official sources.
The forces conducted precise strikes on multiple militant hideouts in Mir Ali, targeting key commanders and infrastructure of banned outfits.
Mubarak Shahi Village (Mir Ali):
A major strike targeted the central compound of the outlawed TTP Commander Zahir Group, resulting in three militants killed and five wounded.
Epi Area:
Another well-coordinated operation struck several hideouts belonging to the banned Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group, led by Commander Hanifullah alias Asad.
The assault destroyed multiple strongholds, killing four terrorists and injuring six others.
Meanwhile, late last night, security forces launched a separate counterterrorism operation against a Khawarij cell in Hassan Khel, Tehsil Dattakhel, also in North Waziristan. Sources reported the elimination of several militants, including foreign fighters.
So far, nine slain militants have been identified, among them:
Commander Bismillah alias Fateh (Dattakhel), Karimullah, Hunar Wazir, Muhammad, Ilyas Paktika Wal, Atal Afghani, Shaheen Afghani, Rohullah Afghani, Qari Abdul Khaliq Khost Wal, and Hilal Afghani.
Sources added that several other terrorists were also killed, whose identities are yet to be confirmed.
The successful operations mark a significant blow to militant networks operating in the region, reaffirming the resolve of Pakistan’s security forces to eliminate terrorism and restore lasting peace in North Waziristan.
