PESHAWAR: Pakistan’s security forces gunned down 10 militants and injured three others in two separate operations carried out in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North Waziristan, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), military media affairs wing, in a press release on Saturday.
According to ISPR, the operations were conducted on March 8 and 9. Four terrorists were sent to hell during an intelligence-based operation on March 8. Whereas, during the follow-up sanitization operation, four more terrorists were successfully neutralized by the security forces, ISPR stated.
In a separate operation in the North Waziristan district, a movement of five terrorists, who were trying to infiltrate the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was picked up by the security forces. After an intense fire exchange, two terrorists, terrorist Hazrat Umer and terrorist Rehman Niaz were also sent to hell, while three other terrorists got injured, ISPR said in the press release.
Pakistan has consistently been asking the Interim Afghan Government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border. The interim Afghan Government is expected to fulfill its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists for using acts of terrorism against Pakistan, ISPR stated.
Pakistan’s security forces are determined and remain committed to securing its borders and wipe-out the menace of terrorism from the country.
