Security forces neutralize six Khawarij in KP

Six Khwarij were consigned to hell on April 20 and 21, 2025, in two different encounters in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Province.

On reported presence of Khwarij, an intelligence based operation was conducted by the Security Forces in general area Razmak, North Waziristan District. During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location, resultantly, five khwarij were sent to hell.

In another intelligence based operation in South Waziristan District, own troops effectively neutralized kharji ring leader Zabi Ullah @Zakran, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces as well as in target killing of innocent civilians and was highly wanted by the Law Enforcement Agencies.

A sanitization effort is underway to exterminate any more Kharji identified in the region, as Pakistan’s security forces are committed to eradicate the threat of terrorism from the country.

Earlier, on the night of April 5/6, security authorities detained a group of khwarij attempting to enter through the Pakistan-Afghanistan border near Hassan Khel in North Waziristan District.

Own troops effectively engaged and thwarted their attempt to infiltrate. After an intense exchange of fire, eight Khwarij were sent to hell, while four khwarij got injured.

Pakistan has consistently been asking Interim Afghan Government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border. Interim Afghan Government is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by Khwarij for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistan.

However, Pakistan’s security forces are conducting a sanitization operation to eliminate any remaining Kharji in the area, as part of their commitment to securing the country’s borders and combating terrorism.
