Security Forces Kill Militants as Policeman Dies in Northwest Pakistan Attack
Security forces in northwest Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province killed seven militants linked to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) during an intelligence-based operation in North Waziristan. Separately, a policeman was killed in Tank district after an attack by two gunmen who used a hand grenade and firearms; the TTP claimed responsibility. Both incidents reflect ongoing militant violence in the region following the end of a ceasefire deal in November 2022, amid continued counterterrorism efforts by Pakistani authorities.
