On March 6 and 7, security forces conducted a series of high-tempo intelligence driven operations, part of relentless counter terrorism campaign, wherein 13 Khwarij belonging to Indian proxy Fitna Al Khwarij were killed in five separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement said.
During an IBO in Bajaur district, troops effectively engaged the Khwarij location and after an intense fire exchange, five Khwarij were killed.
In two other encounters in Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan districts, three Khwarij belonging to Indian proxy Fitna Al Khwarij were successfully neutralised.
Simultaneously, in two separate engagements in Khyber and South Waziristan districts, the troops effectively neutralised five more Khwarij.
