According to the military’s media affairs wing, a sanitization operation was being carried out to get rid of any other terrorists in the area.
It continued, “[ Pakistan’s security forces are determined to eliminate terrorism from the country.
Through an official notification issued in July, the government designated the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as Fitna al Khawarij and mandated that all institutions use the term khariji (outcast) when referring to terrorists who attacked Pakistan.
The number of attacks on security forces, other law enforcement agencies, and security checkpoints has significantly increased in recent years, particularly in Balochistan and KP.
After the TTP vowed to target security forces and broke a fragile ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022, attacks increased.
In the North Waziristan district of KP, an IBO resulted in the deaths of two terrorists earlier this month.
In a separate incident, two encounters in North and South Waziristan resulted in the deaths of 12 terrorists and the martyrdom of six soldiers.
