According to a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intelligence-based operation (IBO) was conducted by Pakistani security forces in Datta Khel, North Waziristan, resulting in the deaths of fourteen terrorists supported by India from Fitna al-Khawarij. Ongoing sanitation operations are in progress to eliminate additional militants within the affected region. In the previous days, in two distinct IBOs in Machh and Kalat, Balochistan, Pakistani security forces neutralized seven terrorists affiliated with Fitna al-Hindustan. In recent months, Pakistani security forces have increased counter-terrorism activities following attacks perpetrated by militant groups supported by India, particularly in West Pakistan and Balochistan. As stated by the authorities, a total of nine terrorists supported by India were killed in a series of operations that took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the past month. No fatalities have been reported among the Pakistani security forces.
