RAWALPINDI: Security forces have killed seven Khwarij while a soldier was martyred in North Waziristan in the last two days.
On December 10 and 11, seven Khwarij were sent to hell in two separate engagements in North Waziristan District, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement said.
An Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) was conducted by the security forces in general area Miran Shah, North Waziristan District, on the reported presence of Khwarij.
During the conduct of operation, troops effectively engaged the Khwarij location and, as a result, four Khwarij were sent to hell.
In another encounter that took place in general area Spinwam, North Waziristan District, own troops successfully neutralized three more Khwarij.
However, during the intense fire exchange, one brave son of soil, Lance Naik Muhammad Amin (age: 34 years, resident of District Faisalabad), having fought gallantly, embraced Shahadat. Sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji found in the area as security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism. Such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve, the ISPR said.
