In a decisive intelligence-driven operation conducted in Kot Isa, Daraban area of Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan’s security forces successfully neutralized four Khawarij affiliated with the Gandapur group of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
According to official sources, the operation was planned and executed based on actionable intelligence regarding the presence of TTP elements in the region. Security forces engaged the Khawarij in a targeted encounter, resulting in the elimination of all four operatives. The exchange of fire was intense, but coordinated tactics ensured the safety of civilians and operational personnel.
The operation underscores the continued vigilance and proactive stance of Pakistan’s security apparatus against extremist networks operating within the country. The Gandapur faction of TTP has been implicated in multiple violent activities, and their neutralization is expected to disrupt planning and operational capacity in the area.
Authorities reiterated that intelligence-based operations remain a cornerstone of Pakistan’s counter-terrorism strategy. By leveraging precise intelligence, trained personnel, and coordinated action, security forces continue to target active Khawarij cells, dismantle networks, and prevent potential attacks.
Pakistan’s law enforcement and military institutions remain committed to protecting citizens, maintaining national security, and ensuring that the country’s territory is free from threats posed by extremist elements.
