Under the Azm-e-Istehkam vision, security forces killed five militants of Fitna al-Khawarij in an intelligence-based operation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s South Waziristan.

Security sources said the operation was targeting militant hideouts, which were destroyed in the attack. A substantial number of guns and ammo were also discovered from the slain militants throughout the operation.

The sources said the intelligence-led operations caused heavy losses to the terrorists in terms of men and infrastructure.

In a separate development, security forces conducted operations against militants of Fitna al-Hindustan in Balochistan, killing six terrorists in Goran­der and Mashke­l districts.

Security sources said militants fired on a security check post in Mashkel and tried to escape. Security forces launched an operation and gunned down the fleeing insurgents.

The operations were performed under the banner of Operation Radd-ul-Fitan 3 and the Azm-e-Istehkam vision, the sources added.

The security forces reiterated their commitment to eradicate militancy from the country and establish permanent peace.
