According to security sources, information was received regarding the movement of a woman named Nargis (from Balicha, Tehsil Tump) in a silver Corolla vehicle, believed to be accompanied by terrorists (Ts).
In response, extensive nakas (checkpoints) and snap checks were established across the area to intercept the vehicle.
At approximately 6:55 PM, a snap checkpoint from 168 Wing observed the silver vehicle attempting to avoid the checkpoint and taking a detour near Jusak border area.

The QRF pursued the silver Corolla. As the chase reached near Jusak Cross, fire was opened from inside the vehicle by the terrorists.
The QRF responded with effective fire, resulting in the neutralization of two terrorists.
One of the killed terrorists has been identified as Salim, a known militant who had been at large for the past two years and was involved in multiple terrorist activities in the region.
The identity of the second terrorist is being ascertained; confirmation is expected to take time due to a head injury.

The vehicle is currently being cleared, and pictures of the deceased terrorists, along with recovered weapons, equipment, and ammunition, have been documented.
