According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was carried out on the “reported presence of terrorists belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna al Hindustan.”

During the raid, security forces effectively engaged the militants’ hideout, leading to a fierce exchange of fire. “After an intense fire exchange, four Indian sponsored terrorists were sent to hell,” the ISPR said in its statement.

Weapons, ammunition, and explosives were recovered from the hideout. The ISPR added that the slain terrorists “remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.”

A sanitisation operation is underway to ensure clearance of the region. The ISPR reaffirmed that “security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian sponsored terrorism from the country, and reaffirm the nation’s unwavering resolve to bring the perpetrators of terrorism to justice.”
