North Waziristan: Six Khwarij were killed during an intelligence-based operation in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan.

According to Radio Pakistan, security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan District on reported presence of Khwarij. During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged their location and killed six Khwarij.

However, during the intense fire exchange, Major Hamza Israr, an officer leading his troops from the front, and Sepoy Muhammad Naeem, fought gallantly and embraced Shahadat. A sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Khwarij found in the area.

The security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country, and such sacrifices of brave soldiers further strengthen their resolve.
