According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces have been conducting a comprehensive area-clearance operation in the area since November 3 against what it described as Indian-backed Fitna Al Khawarij and Fitna Al Hindustan.
The statement said multiple terrorist hideouts were targeted during the operation. Following several engagements, security forces killed 31 terrorists.
Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the targeted hideouts, ISPR added.
The military’s media wing said counterterrorism operations under the vision of Azm-e-Istehkam, approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, would continue to eliminate foreign-sponsored terrorism across the country.
