The security forces killed seven terrorists linked to the Indian Proxy Fitna al Khwarij during an intelligence -based operation (IBO) in the Sherani district of Baluchistan earlier this week, the military media wing said Thursday.
According to a statement of public relations between services (ISPR), the operation was carried out on October 1 after reports arose about the presence of terrorists sponsored by the Indians in the area.
The ISPR said the forces effectively compromised the hiding place of the terrorists, and after an intense fire exchange, “seven terrorists sponsored by the Indians were sent to hell.”
Fitna al Khawarij is a term coined by the State for terrorists belonging to the forbidden Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The military added that weapons, ammunition and explosives were recovered from the militants, who “actively participated in numerous terrorist activities” in the region.
A disinfecting operation is currently being carried out to eliminate the area of any remaining threat, said the ISPR, reaffirming the resolution of Pakistan’s armed forces to eliminate the threat of terrorism sponsored by India and take their perpetrators before justice.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister’s office issued a statement citing Shehbaz Sharif as praising security forces for killing seven terrorists Fitna Al Khwarij in the Sherani district of Baluchistan.
