Kurram operation kills four terrorists, Afghan national among dead

Security forces have killed four terrorists in an intelligence-based operation in Kurram district, according to security sources.

Among those killed was Afghan national Ubaidullah Saad, who was reportedly affiliated with Fitna al Khwarij. Sources said the operation was carried out after receiving intelligence about militant activity in the area.

The development comes as security forces continue operations against militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Authorities have repeatedly said that such operations will continue to prevent attacks and protect local communities.

Afghan national identified among terrorists

According to security sources, Ubaidullah Saad was the son of Ghulam Ghaus Salehi and belonged to Shah Qila village in Afghanistan’s Logar province.

Sources said he was affiliated with Fitna al Khwarij and had been involved in several terrorist activities in Pakistan.

His death was confirmed during the latest operation in Kurram. Security officials described the action as part of continuing efforts to target militants operating in areas near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The operation also highlights the security challenges faced by Pakistan in border districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Officials have maintained that militant groups attempting to enter or operate inside Pakistan will face action from security forces.

Security forces vow continued action

Security sources said operations against anti-state elements would continue without discrimination.

They said there would be no compromise on Pakistan’s security and peace. The forces also stressed the need to protect the lives and property of citizens.

The latest operation comes amid a series of actions against Fitna al Khwarij in different parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Security forces have increased operations following attacks and attempted militant movements in several districts of the province.

Officials say intelligence-based operations are being used to identify militant hideouts and target suspected terrorists.

The authorities have not provided further details about the weapons recovered or the exact circumstances of the Kurram operation.

21 terrorists killed in earlier KP operations

Earlier, security forces killed 21 terrorists during operations conducted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa between September 3 and 5, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

The operations were carried out against Fitna al Khwarij in several areas of the province.

According to ISPR, 10 terrorists hiding in North Waziristan were killed during one of the operations. The military’s media wing also said the number of militants killed in an attempted infiltration on September 1 had reached 25.

The developments came as security forces continued efforts to stop militant movements along the border and inside the province.

More militants killed in North Waziristan

In another clash in North Waziristan, seven terrorists were killed, according to the ISPR statement.

Four additional terrorists were killed during joint operations in Kohat and Dera Ismail Khan, the statement said.

These operations show the continued security pressure in several districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The province has remained a key focus of security operations because of repeated militant activity and its proximity to the Afghanistan border.

Security officials say intelligence sharing and targeted operations remain important in dealing with militant threats.

Pakistan raises concern over Afghan territory

The ISPR said repeated incidents along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border showed that Afghan Taliban authorities had failed to prevent their territory from being used for militant activities.

Pakistan has repeatedly raised concerns about militants allegedly operating from Afghanistan and carrying out attacks inside Pakistan.

The Afghan Taliban authorities have previously rejected allegations that Afghanistan is being used against other countries.

The issue remains a major security concern between Pakistan and Afghanistan, particularly because of the long and difficult-to-monitor border.

For Pakistan, preventing cross-border militant activity remains a key security priority.
