Security forces killed 30 terrorists in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s South Waziristan district, the military’s media wing said in a statement on Tuesday.
A statement issued today from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said security forces conducted an IBO on Monday in the district’s general area on Sararogha based on a reported terrorist presence.
It added that security forces “effectively engaged” the terrorists at their location during the operation, due to which 30 were “sent to hell”.
The ISPR added that sanitisation operations were being conducted to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area.
“Security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave men further strengthen our resolve,” the statement concluded.
The incident comes just days after four soldiers were martyred while 15 terrorists were killed in two separate IBOs carried out in KP on Saturday.
On Thursday, security forces killed 13 terrorists in five separate operations carried out across KP. Earlier in January, security forces killed 30 terrorists during three separate operations across KP.
Pakistan has recently witnessed an uptick in terror activities, especially in KP and Balochistan.
