Earlier today, the Pakistan military media wing, ISPR, said in a statement that security forces foiled two major infiltration attempts by Indian-sponsored militants along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, killing 25 terrorists, including four suicide bombers, during intense operations in Kurram and North Waziristan districts on October 24–25.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), troops detected movements of two large groups of khwarij—members of the Indian proxy network Fitna al Khwarij—attempting to cross into Pakistan near the Ghaki area of Kurram District and Spinwam in North Waziristan.
Security forces engaged the infiltrators with precision fire, killing 15 militants in Spinwam, including four suicide bombers, and another 10 in Ghaki. A significant cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was recovered from the dead insurgents.
