According to the IBO, it was carried out in the Takwara area of Dera Ismail Khan on the presence of the Khawarij.
The Pakistan security forces killed nine Khawarij and recovered weapons and ammunition from their possession.
Kharji’s Ring leader, Shireen, was highly wanted by the Law Enforcement Agencies due to his involvement in numerous terrorist activities. Besides being involved in the targeted killing of numerous innocent civilians, he was also responsible for the Shahadat of Captain Hasnain Akhtar. The ISPR said the operation has avenged the heinous act and has brought the main perpetrator to justice.
A sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji in the area.
The ISPR, in its statement, reaffirmed the determination to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country.
