Pakistan security forces kill 15 militants attempting to cross from Afghanistan
On Thursday, the Inter-Services Public Relations reported that security forces killed 15 Indian-sponsored 'Fitna' militants in North Waziristan District after detecting their infiltration attempt on the night of August 31.
Pakistan claims the incident vindicates its stance on the Afghan Taliban Regime's 'abject failure' to prevent cross-border terrorism, though the regime rejects accusations that it allows its territory to be used for attacks.
During a follow-up sanitization operation, troops recovered a significant quantity of weapons and ammunition, which the ISPR said had 'further exposed the nefarious designs' of facilitators seeking to disrupt peace.
Security forces remain 'resolute and unwavering' in their commitment to defend national frontiers, with the counterterrorism campaign under 'Azm-e-Istehkam' vision continuing at full pace to eliminate foreign-supported terrorism.
Terrorism remains a growing problem for Pakistan, with Armed Conflict Location & Event Data showing attacks rose to 2,425 in 2025, while Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan attacks increased from 118 to 838.
