ZHOB – Pakistan’s security forces successfully thwarted large-scale infiltration attempt by heavily armed group of Khwarij militants linked to Indian-backed militant organization Fitna al Khwaraj, ISPR said.
In a statement, the military’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations said these militants were intercepted near Sambaza in Zhob District, along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
In swift and precise operation, Pakistani troops engaged militants with boldness and skill, eliminating 33 enemy combatants and dismantling their planned incursion. A substantial cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was also recovered from the scene.
