Islamabad, Pakistan: The Pakistan Army killed 54 terrorists who were infiltrating Pakistan from Afghanistan. This is the highest ever number of Khwarij killed by our Security Forces in a single engagement during an entire campaign against terrorism.
On night 25/26 and 26/27 April 2025, movement of a large group of khwarij, who were trying to infiltrate through the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was detected by the security forces in the general area of Hassan Khel, North Waziristan District.
Own troops effectively engaged and thwarted their attempt to infiltrate. As a result of precise and skillful engagement, all fifty-four khawarij have been sent to hell. A large cache of weapons, ammunition & explosives was also recovered from the killed Khawarij.
Intelligence reports indicate that this group of khawarij was specifically infiltrating on the behest of their “foreign masters” to undertake high-profile terrorist activities inside Pakistan. Such actions by Fitna al Khwarij (FAK), at a time when India is leveling baseless accusations against Pakistan, clearly imply whose cues FAK is operating on. Such actions amount to treason and betrayal against the state and its citizens.
The recent NSC also underscored the fact that distracting Pakistan’s security forces from their focus on the war against terror seems to be the strategic intent of India to allow a breathing space to FAK, which is reeling from the onslaught of our Armed Forces’ resolute offensive against them. The security forces demonstrated exceptional professionalism, vigilance & preparedness, preventing a potential catastrophe.
Pakistan is raising the issue of the infiltration of terrorists from Afghanistan. Recently, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar visited Kabul, and the Afghan Taliban assured him that they would not support TTP to harm Pakistan and would not allow them to use Afghan soil against Pakistan. However, this event again confirmed that the Afghan Taliban are not following their promises, and TTP is enjoying the support of the Afghan interim government.
The Security Forces of Pakistan remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation’s frontiers and to eradicate the menace of terrorism. Such bold and decisive actions further strengthen our collective resolve and underscore that Pakistan is winning the war against terrorism, while achieving significant successes against terrorists.
