RAWALPINDI: Security forces have killed nine Indian-sponsored Khwarij in three separate engagements in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in the last two days.
An Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) was conducted by the security forces in Dera Ismail Khan district on reported presence of Indian-sponsored Khwarij.
During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the Khwarij location, and after an intense fire exchange, four Indian-sponsored Khwarij were killed.
Another IBO was conducted in the Tank district and in ensuing fire exchange, two more Indian-sponsored Khwarij were killed by the security forces.
In the third encounter that took place in general area Bagh, Khyber district, own troops successfully neutralised three more Indian-sponsored Khwarij.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed Indian-sponsored Khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in these areas.
Sensitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji found in the area, as the security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement said.
