Security forces kill 13 terrorists in two IBOs in K-P

Operations in Bannu and Kurram districts killed 13 militants linked to the India-backed proxy group Fitna al-Khawarij, part of ongoing counterterrorism efforts in the region.

  • Security forces carried out two IBOs in KP, killing eight in Bannu and five in Kurram, ISPR said on Thursday.
  • Following tip‑offs, security forces launched an IBO in Bannu district after reports of terrorists’ presence, with sanitisation operations targeting India‑sponsored terrorists, the military’s media wing said.
  • ISPR Director General Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said law enforcement carried out 75,175 IBOs in 2025, reporting 5,397 terrorism incidents last year with 2,597 terrorists killed.
  • The military’s media wing vowed the 'Azm e Istehkam' campaign will continue at full pace as KP and Balochistan, affected by cross-border threats since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, face rising terrorism incidents.
  • Officials warned that civilians and soft targets had been deliberately targeted and ISPR identified the slain as linked to Fitna al-Khawarij, with Afghan militants involved in 10 major attacks.
