According to security sources, the four commanders killed in the operation were identified as Khalid Raza, Kamran, Musa and Maftoon.
A large quantity of weapons and ammunition was also recovered from the militants, while several of their hideouts were destroyed during the coordinated operations, the sources said.
The latest action comes amid continued security operations against militant networks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the Azm-e-Istehkam framework. Security forces have intensified intelligence-led operations in North Waziristan, a district that has remained a major focus of counterterrorism efforts.
The killing of four senior commanders in the latest operation is being described by security sources as a significant setback for the militant network operating in the area.
Islamabad continues to sound alarm against militant groups operating from Afghan land, with the stated objective of preventing terrorist networks from re-establishing their presence and threatening peace and security in the region.
