No Large-Scale Operation in Tirah: Security Officials

Security officials recently briefed media representatives to address key concerns regarding ongoing operations. Security sources clarified that no major military offensive is currently taking place in Tirah; instead, the military is conducting focused Intelligence-Based Operations (IBOs). These targeted actions are set to continue until the final terrorist is eliminated. Sources further noted that current weather conditions are not suitable for large-scale maneuvers and dismissed reports of a major operation in Tirah as false and baseless propaganda.

Regarding regional cooperation, security sources emphasized that all decisions are made in direct consultation with tribal leaders and local dignitaries, ensuring that local conditions and traditions are strictly respected. This collaborative approach ensures that decisions remain the prerogative of the local people themselves. Furthermore, sources asserted that no manufactured narrative could successfully create a rift in the enduring relationship between the army and the public.

The briefing also touched upon internal threats, noting that the nexus between terrorists and criminal elements has been thoroughly exposed. In Balochistan, security sources identified Hindutva-aligned separatists as the true enemies of public development and infrastructure. They concluded that the people of Balochistan have grown to recognize the true motives of those who carry out acts of terrorism under the pretext of addressing local grievances or feelings of deprivation.
