The security forces killed seven terrorists, including three Afghan nationals and two suicide bomber, during an intelligence operation (IBO) in the Kulachi region in the Dera Ismail Khan district on September 20.
According to inter-service public relations (ISPR), the operation targeted the group’s combatants linked to India Fitna al Khwarij. The troops “actually hired the location,” he said, adding that a scanning of disinfection was underway to clean up any remaining militant.
Islamabad called on the interim government of Afghanistan to prevent the use of its territory for attacks against Pakistan, claiming that the military remained determined to eliminate what he described as a terrorism sponsored by India in the country.
The Federal Minister of the Interior Mohin Naqvi praised the security forces for their successful operation against the terrorists supported by the Indians in Kulachi, Dera Ismail Khan.
The minister congratulated the professional skills of the forces to eliminate seven “Khwarij”, saying that the security staff had once again thwarted the harmful conceptions of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa activists.
“I salute the security forces for bringing seven khwarij to a sinister end,” said Naqvi, adding that the nation stands in the shoulder with its strengths and values their achievements.
“Khwarij will not find any place to hide,” he warned.

Earlier, four terrorists linked to the Indian proxy network Fitna al Hindustan were killed by the security forces during an IBO in the Khuzdar district of Baloutchistan.
According to inter-service public relations (ISPR), the operation was carried out on September 17 following reports on the presence of terrorists in the region.
During an intense fire exchange, the security forces managed to hire the hiding place, killing activists on the spot.
Weapons, ammunition and explosives have been recovered from their possession. The ISPR said the terrorists killed were actively involved in multiple terrorist activities in the region.
One day earlier, the security forces had eliminated five terrorists linked to the Indian proxy Fitna Al Hindustan network during another operation in the Khuzdar district.
The Khuzdar operation has followed a series of major actions against terrorism across the country in recent days.
Before that, the security forces eliminated 31 terrorists associated with the Fitna Al Khwarij network sponsored by the Indians in the districts of Lakki Marwat and Bannu of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
These operations occurred to a broader campaign during which 45 activists were killed and 19 soldiers martyred in Bajaur, in southern Waziristan and the bottom.
These successive operations underline the intensified campaign of Pakistan against militant groups, the ISPR repeatedly emphasizing the role of Indian proxies and the involvement of Afghan soil in recent attacks.
