Security forces thwarted a cowardly attack by Fitna al-Khawarij on their convoy in Central Kurram, averting a major threat.
Five militants were killed in a retaliatory operation by the security forces.
The attackers fled the area, leaving behind the bodies of their accomplices.
Security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation.
Recently, the security agencies carried out a major operation in Karachi, preventing a serious tragedy and saving the city.
During an intelligence-based operation, the security agencies seized a mini truck parked in an empty plot.
The truck contained tons of explosive material, 60 plastic drums, five gas cylinders, and over 40 kilograms of homemade explosives.
The operation was carried out in Karachi’s Baldia Town.
Situation in Kurram
Kurram has been marred with tribal violence stemming from decades-old land disputes, which claimed at least 130 lives in 2024. Following months of conflict, the warring tribes reached a ceasefire agreement in January 2025, followed by a year-long peace deal signed in July by the Lower Kurram and Sadda tribes.
In December 2025, terrorists carried out a cowardly attack on a security checkpoint in Pakistan’s northwest near the Afghan border, martyring six soldiers and police personnel. Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack.
