Security forces killed 33 terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Friday, the military’s media wing said in a statement.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a large group of terrorists belonging to the “Indian proxy Fitna al Khwaraj” was detected while trying to cross into Pakistan through the Sambaza area of Balochistan’s Zhob district on the night of August 7 and 8.
The term Fitna al Khawarij is used by the state to describe terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The statement added that security forces effectively engaged and thwarted the infiltration attempt, saying, “As a result of precise, bold and skilful engagement, thirty-three Indian-sponsored Khwarij were sent to hell.”
A large cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was also recovered during the operation.
“The security forces of Pakistan remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation’s frontiers and to eradicate the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country,” the ISPR concluded.
