Four terrorists were killed after security forces foiled a suicide attack at a camp in Mir Ali district of North Waziristan state. pay television reported on Friday.
“According to sources, khawarij attempted to carry out a suicide attack against security forces in Mir Ali. One kharji crashed a vehicle loaded with explosives against the wall of the security forces camp, after which three more khawarij He attempted to enter the camp,” the report says.
“As a result of the timely and courageous action of the security forces, the three khawarij They were killed outside the field. Security forces suffered no losses in the incident. In the last two days alone, 88 terrorists supported by the Afghan Taliban have been killed,” the report says.
The development comes a day after the ISPR said 34 “India-backed” terrorists had been killed in multiple operations in North Waziristan, South Waziristan and Bannu districts of KP over the previous three days.
Pakistan has witnessed a rise in terrorist attacks, especially in KP and Balochistan, mainly targeting police, law enforcement personnel and security forces. Attacks increased after the banned TTP broke a ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022.
Last week, a lieutenant colonel and a major were among 11 military personnel martyred during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in KP’s Orakzai, in which 19 terrorists were reported dead. The same week, the ISPR reported that 30 terrorists involved in the incident had been killed in a “retaliation operation”.
Just a day after the Orakzai operation, another officer was martyred in an operation in Dera Ismail Khan, in which seven terrorists were also killed, according to the ISPR.
In July, the government designated the TTP as Fitna al Khawarijforcing all institutions to use the term khariji (marginalized) when referring to the perpetrators of terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Islamabad has been expressing concern over the presence of TTP terrorists in Afghanistan and has repeatedly urged Kabul to take measures to prevent these attacks, even before the latest deadly border clashes between the two countries in the last week. However, Afghan authorities have consistently denied the allegations.
Pakistan has also accused India of sponsoring cross-border terrorism. In May, the government designated all terrorist organizations in Balochistan as Fitna al Hindustan – a phrase intended to frame India’s alleged role in terrorism as a deliberate destabilization strategy.
