Security forces repulse Fitna Al Hindustan terrorist attack
Earlier this month, a large group of Fitna Al Hindustan terrorists attacked Naal city in Khuzdar, Balochistan.
Security forces responded to the attack and killed 12 terrorists during the operation, according to reports.
One soldier was martyred in the exchange of fire. Reports said the area was later secured, while security forces continued search operations on the ground and from the air to find any remaining attackers.
Recently, the ISPR said that in the last forty-eight hours, the security forces engaged multiple Khwarijs’ locations in the general area Datta Khel, North Waziristan District.
“Following intense and fierce exchanges of fire, eleven khwarij belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Khwarij were effectively neutralised”, said ISPR in a statement.
“Weapons and ammunition have also been recovered from killed Indian sponsored Khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.”
Sanitisation operations continue to eliminate holed up khwarij from these areas, as the 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 the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.
