15 militants killed in KP security forces operations, two soldiers Martyred

On April 25 and 26, 2025, fifteen Khwarij were slain in three separate encounters in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, GTV news reported on Saturday.

According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intelligence based operation was conducted by the Security Forces in Karak District on reported presence of Khwarij. During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location, and resultantly eight khwarij were sent to hell.

In an another operation conducted in North Waziristan District, four khwarij were killed by the security forces. However, during the intense fire exchange, two brave sons of soil, Lance Naik Usman Mohmand (age: 28 years, resident of District Charsadda) and Sepoy Imran Khan (age: 26 years, resident of District Kurram) having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat.

In another encounter that took place in general area Gomal Zam, South Waziristan District, own troops successfully neutralized three khwarij.

Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities.

Sanitization efforts are underway to kill any more Kharji found in the region, as Pakistan’s security forces are determined to eradicate the threat of terrorism, and the sacrifices of our brave soldiers only enhance our commitment.

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.
