A significant security operation took place at Pattasi Adda Bazaar in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, where police forces engaged in an exchange of fire with Khawarij, resulting in the elimination of two extremists and injuries to three others, officials confirmed. During the operation, Constable Nizam Ullah confronted the armed Khawarij with bravery and was martyred in the line of duty. Authorities described his actions as a demonstration of the courage and dedication of police personnel operating in high-risk areas to maintain law and order.
Security officials stated that this encounter represents the first direct confrontation between Khawarij and police forces in North Waziristan. It highlights the increasingly proactive role of law enforcement in countering extremism alongside other security agencies. The operation underscores Pakistan’s ongoing commitment to eliminate violent elements and restore peace to affected regions.
Following the engagement, police and security forces immediately intensified cordon-and-search operations across Mir Ali to locate and neutralize any remaining Khawarij operatives and secure civilian areas. Officials emphasized that these measures are part of a broader effort to strengthen public safety and prevent further acts of violence in the region.
A senior security official commented, “This operation demonstrates the operational capability and resolve of our police forces. The commitment and sacrifice of officers like Constable Nizam Ullah are central to ensuring security and stability for the local population.”
Authorities urged the public to continue supporting law enforcement efforts and stressed that collective vigilance and cooperation are essential to countering the threat of Khawarij and safeguarding regional security.
