Security forces killed 10 terrorists in an intelligence -based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Khyber district, the military media wing said on Monday.
A statement of public relations between services (ISPR) issued today said that the security forces made an IBO in the general area of BAGH of the district at night between Sunday and Monday based on a reported terrorist presence.
He added that the troops “effectively committed” terrorists in their location because 10 of them were “sent to hell.”
The ISPR said that a disinfecting operation was being carried out to eliminate any other terrorist in the area. “Pakistan security forces are determined to eliminate the threat of terrorism in the country,” he added.
The security forces killed seven terrorists in two separate operations carried out in the district of Ismail Khan of KP, the ISPR had said one day ago.
Last week, security forces killed 30 terrorists in an Ibo in the Waziristan district of southern KP.
Pakistan has recently witnessed an increase in terrorist activities, especially in KP and Baluchistan.
Terrorist attacks have increased since the Tehreek–i-Taliban Pakistan group broke a high-fragile fire agreement with the government in 2022.
A security report, published last month by the group of experts based in Islamabad, Pak Institute for Peace Studies, showed that in 2024, the number of terrorist attacks reached levels comparable to the security situation in 2014 or before.
He said that while terrorists no longer controlled specific territories within Pakistan as they did in 2014, the predominant insecurity in parts of KP and Baluchistan was “alarming.”
He said that more than 95 percent of the terrorist attacks recorded in 2024 concentrated in KP and Baluchistan.
KP registered the largest number of terrorist incidents in the country in 2024, with 295 attacks. Meanwhile, the attacks by several insurgent groups of Baloch prohibited, mainly the Baluchistan Liberation Army and the Baluchistan Liberation Front, saw an amazing increase of 119 percent, representing 171 incidents in Baluchistan, he said.
