RAWALPINDI – Security forces have killed nine terrorists, including a ring leader, in an intelligence based operation in general area Takwara, Dera Ismail Khan District.
ISPR said the operation was conducted after receiving information regarding presence of the terrorists in the area.
During conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location and after an intense fire exchange, nine terrorists including ring leader Shireen, were eliminated.

“Sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji found in the area, as the security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country,” the military’s media wing said.
