Four Ring Leaders Among 21 Terrorists Killed in K-P IBOs
Weapons and ammunition were recovered as sanitisation operations continued, and the military said 48 militants have been killed since last week.
- On Saturday, June 13, 2026, Pakistani security forces killed 21 terrorists during intelligence-based operations in North Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Inter-Services Public Relations said.
- These operations are part of a relentless counterterrorism campaign under the Azm-i-Istehkam vision approved by the Federal Apex Committee, bringing total militant deaths since last week to 48 in "highly skilful and precise operations."
- Among the 21 killed were four ring leaders—Khalid Raza alias Salar, Muftoon, Musa, and Imran alias Ayan—who the ISPR said were "highly wanted for their involvement in numerous terrorist activities, including killing of security forces personnel and innocent civilians."
- President Asif Ali Zardari commended the security forces for the successful operations, while the military confirmed that sanitization efforts will continue to eliminate any remaining militants hiding in the area.
- The state uses the term Fitna-al-Khwarij to refer to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, as authorities intensify operations to combat terrorist violence that has recently deteriorated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
