Rawalpindi (Web Desk): Eight terrorists affiliated with the Indian-sponsored network Fitna al-Khwarij were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) carried out by Pakistan’s security forces in the Khyber Pakhtunkhawa’s (KP) Tank district on Friday.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was launched following confirmed intelligence about the presence of these militants in the area. During an intense exchange of fire, the Indian proxy terrorists were eliminated.

The statement said that weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists, who had been actively involved in numerous attacks targeting security forces, law enforcement agencies, and innocent civilians.
