RAWALPINDI – Security forces killed three terrorists in an Intelligence based operation (IBO) in Bannu district.

“In the early hours of Friday, Security Forces conducted an intelligence based operation in Bannu District on reported presence of khwarij,” said Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement.

During conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged terrorists’ location, as a result of which, three militants were killed while two others got injured, it said.

Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces as well as target killing of innocent civilians.

“Sanitization operation is being carried out to eliminate any other Khwarji found in the area, as security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe-out the menace of terrorism from the country,” it further said.

The operation comes a couple of days after twelve soldiers were martyred and six terrorists were killed when the militants attempted to attack a joint check post in in general area MaliKhel in Bannu District, said military’s media wing on Wednesday.

ISPR had said the terrorists attacked the check post on 19 November 2024. In ensuing fire exchange, six terrorists were killed. The attempt to enter the post was effectively thwarted by troops, which forced the militants to ram an explosive laden vehicle into the perimeter wall of the post.

The suicide blast led to collapse of portion of perimeter wall and damaged the adjoining infrastructure, resulting in martyrdom of twelve brave sons of soil that include ten soldiers of the security forces and two soldiers of Frontier Constabulary.
