During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location and after an intense fire exchange, three khwarij, including HVT Kharji Fareed Ullah, were sent to hell.

Another intelligence based operation (IBO) was conducted in general area Dossali, North Waziristan District. In ensuing fire exchange, two Khwarij were effectively neutralised by the security forces.

In third encounter that took place in Mohmand District, the security forces successfully busted a kharji hideout and apprehended two khwarij, including HVT Kharji Lal Ameer @Ibrahim.

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

According to ISPR, sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji found in the area, as the security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country.
