DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Pakistan’s security forces carried out a successful intelligence-based operation in the Daraban area on September 24, killing 13 terrorists linked to an India-backed militant group, the military’s media wing (ISPR) said.

According to ISPR, the operation was launched after reports confirmed the presence of militants from the outlawed group Khawarij. During the operation, security forces targeted the terrorists’ hideouts with precision, eliminating 13 dangerous militants on the spot.

The killed terrorists were involved in several deadly attacks, including facilitating a suicide bombing in Daraban in December 2023, kidnapping government officials, and carrying out targeted killings of innocent civilians.

Troops also recovered a large cache of weapons and ammunition from the hideouts, preventing the militants from planning future attacks.

The ISPR spokesperson said security forces have launched a sanitization operation in the area to hunt down any remaining militants. He added that Pakistan’s forces remain determined to root out terrorism sponsored by India and will continue operations until the menace is eliminated.
