Security forces detain Khwarij group attempting to cross Pak-Afghan border

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.

Earlier, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Balochistan recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition during an operation in the Sariab area.

According to Counter-Terrorism Department officials, the CTD conducted a major and successful operation in Quetta, foiling a possible terrorist plot and saving the city from major destruction.

However, the recovered items include improvised explosive devices (IEDs), automatic weapons, hand grenades, and various types of ammunition.

Moreover, the action was taken on the basis of intelligence leads indicating suspicious movements and storage of arms and ammunition, to which the prompt and professional response effectively prevented a devastating attack.

Furthermore, as per initial investigations, the terrorists were planning a major terrorist attack in the next 24 to 72 hours, no arrests were made during the operation, and raids are being conducted to arrest the terrorists.
