On 20 September 2025, security forces carried out a precise intelligence-based operation in the Kulachi area of Dera Ismail Khan District, targeting the presence of Fitna al-Khawarij, an Indian-sponsored proxy network.
During the engagement, troops struck the identified hideout with accuracy, sending seven terrorists to hell, including three Afghan nationals and two suicide bombers. The timely action foiled their plans for further attacks, delivering a major setback to hostile networks.
Pakistan reiterates its expectation that the Interim Afghan Government will fulfill its obligations by denying the use of Afghan soil for terrorism against Pakistan.
A thorough sanitization operation is in progress to clear the area of any remaining elements. Pakistan’s armed forces remain unwavering in their resolve to eliminate Indian-sponsored terrorism and safeguard national peace and security.
