Infiltration bid from Afghanistan foiled in North Waziristan, 15 terrorists killed

According to the Pakistan Army’s media wing, terrorists tried to enter Pakistan from North Waziristan district. The Pakistan Army foiled the attempt and fought the terrorists for 36 hours with professional skill.

In an effective operation by the Pakistan Army, 15 terrorists of the India-backed Fitna al-Khawarij were killed. The sinister designs of the Khawarij and their facilitators were further exposed.

According to ISPR, the Afghan Taliban government completely failed to stop terrorists from using Afghan soil. It said the Afghan Taliban government continues to fail to manage its border effectively and to meet its international obligations.

Pakistan’s security forces remain firm and unshakeable in their resolve to defend the country’s borders. A clearance operation continues in the area to eliminate more Khawarij active under Indian patronage. Counter-terrorism operations under Azm-e-Istehkam will continue at full speed.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif paid glowing tribute to the officers and soldiers of the security forces for foiling the infiltration attempt by Khawarij belonging to Fitna al-Hindustan on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border near North Waziristan, and for killing 15 terrorists.

The Prime Minister said the security forces of Pakistan showed great professional skill, patience and courage, and reduced the evil designs of the terrorists of Fitna al-Khawarij to dust.

He said the security forces’ counter-terrorism campaign, Azm-e-Istehkam, would continue with full force and resolve until the scourge of terrorism was uprooted from the country.
