Islamabad: Twenty-six members of the Indian-sponsored group Khwarij were killed in targeted strikes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar announced. These operations were in response to recent terrorist activities in the region, including attacks on a Federal Constabulary Post and military and police installations.

According to Radio Pakistan, Attaullah Tarar detailed that these precise strikes followed credible intelligence, leading to the destruction of four significant targets, including a training center and an ammunition cache linked to the group Fitna al-Khwarij. The raids aimed to dismantle the network of commanders, notably Aleem Khan Khushali and Akhtar Muhammad Jani Khel.

Tarar emphasized Pakistan’s commitment to regional peace and security, stating that the safety of its citizens is paramount. He reiterated the continuation of the Counter Terrorism campaign under the “Azm-e-Istehkam” initiative, backed by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, to eliminate terrorism supported by foreign entities.
