Pakistani security forces on Wednesday killed 10 militants belonging to the banned TTP during an operation in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, security officials said. Paramilitary forces, in coordination with police, carried out the operation in the Upper Orakzai district.
According to officials, 10 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants were killed during the operation and their bodies were later shifted to Kalaya town. Security officials said intelligence-based operations against militants belonging to “Fitna al-Khawarij” were continuing in the region.
Pakistan uses the term “Fitna-al-Khawarij” for the banned terror outfit TTP, which has carried out recurring attacks in the province bordering Afghanistan since its ceasefire deal with the federal Government ended in November 2022.
