Pakistan Security Forces Kill 15 Terrorists Near Afghanistan Border in KPK
Security forces in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province killed at least 15 terrorists attempting to infiltrate the Pakistan-Afghanistan border near North Waziristan between August 31 and September 1. The militants, identified as members of Fitna al-Khawarij, a term used for the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), were neutralized during a 36-hour operation that also recovered weapons and ammunition. The military criticized the Afghan Taliban regime for failing to prevent the use of Afghan soil by terrorist groups. Additionally, 21 terrorists were killed in separate clashes in Balochistan, where security personnel and a Customs official were also killed amid rising terror activities.
