ISPR

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has said that the security forces have killed 13 terrorists during two separate Intelligence-Based Operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

“On 12-13 December 2025, thirteen khwarij belonging to Indian proxy Fitna Al Khwarij were killed in two separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province,” said ISPR.

The first operation was carried out on the reported presence of the terrorists in KP’s Mohmand district. The second operation was carried out in the province’s Bannu district.

According to ISPR, “Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored Khwarij found in the area as relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm e Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.”

Last month, security forces eliminated 22 terrorists during an operation in the Bannu district.

Pakistan has seen a rise in terrorist attacks, especially in KP and Balochistan. This increase came after the TTP ended its ceasefire with the government in November 2022 and promised to target security forces, police, and law enforcement.
