RAWALPINDI: The ISPR has said that in two separate operations conducted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, security forces have killed 13 militants backed by India.
In Lakki Marwat, security forces carried out an operation in which 10 militants were eliminated, while in Dera Ismail Khan, three militants were killed during an exchange of fire.
According to the ISPR, Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the dead militants, who were involved in attacks on security personnel and civilians.
Sanitization operations are underway in the affected areas.
Under Operation “Azm-e-Istehkam,” the crackdown against terrorists has intensified.
Security forces affirmed that the elimination of India-supported militants will continue, stating: “We will eradicate foreign-sponsored terrorism from its roots.”
The security forces vow to completely eliminate the Indian-sponsored militancy from KP.
It is worth mentioning that the Indian-sponsored militants of Fitna al Khawarij have launched several militant-attacks in KP and Balochistan in the past many years.
All such terror groups are funded, trained and backed by India and have their havens and hideouts in Afghanistan.
Pakistan has stressed on Afghanistan to ensure that the militant groups do not use the Afghan soil to launch attacks on the Pakistani territory.
However, no serious measures have been taken by the Afghan government against the Indian-sponsored militants so far.
