Security forces killed 30 Khawariji terrorists attempting to infiltrate the country from Afghanistan during operations conducted over two nights in North Waziristan, the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) sated in press release on Friday.
The movement of a large group of terrorists, identified as Khawarij belonging to the Indian proxy group Fitna al Khawarij, was detected on the nights of July 1–2 and 2–3 in the Hassan Khel area near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the statement said.
Security forces engaged the group and “thwarted the Indian-sponsored Khawariji terrorists’ attempt to infiltrate,” the ISPR said in a statement.
The military said a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was recovered from the site.
According to ISPR, the terrorists killed were involved in multiple terrorist attacks, including those targeting civilians and law enforcement personnel.
The ISPR called on the Interim Afghan Government to prevent the use of Afghan soil by “foreign proxies” for orchestrating terrorist activities against Pakistan.
The military reiterated that Pakistan’s security forces remain “resolute and unwavering” in their commitment to defend the nation’s frontiers and eliminate Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country.
