Rawalpindi: At least six terrorists were killed in two separate intelligence operations (IBOS) by security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), inter-service public relations (ISPR) said on Monday.
According to the army media wing, the security forces carried out an operation in the general area of Razmak in the district of northern Waziristan on the indicated presence of terrorists.
“During the conduct of the operation, the own troops actually hired the location of Khwarij, as a result, five Khwarij were sent to hell,” said the ISPR.
In another IBO in the southern Waziristan district, the security forces neutralized the head of the Zabi Ullah Zakran ring, which has been actively involved in many terrorist activities against the security forces as well as in the target murder of innocent civilians.
He noted that the head of the Ring killed was “much sought after” by the organizations responsible for the application of laws.
Meanwhile, disinfection operations were carried out to eliminate all other terrorists found in the region because “security forces are determined to eliminate the country’s threat of terrorism”.
