Security forces are conducting a series of intelligence based operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

According to the ISPR, these operations have been further expanded to the areas of Mir Ali and Orakzai.

During these intelligence based operations over the last forty eight hours, thirty five khwarij belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Khwarij were neutralized in Mir Ali and eight Khwarij were killed in Orakzai, thereby inflicting a significant blow to the Khwarij networks operating in these areas.

Huge cache of weapons, ammunition and explosives including homemade explosives and improvised explosives devices were also recovered during sanitization, thwarting Khwarij nefarious designs to use these materials in terrorist’s activities.

Sanitization operations continue to eliminate holed up Khwarij from these areas.
