According to the ISPR, the operation was carried out on the “reported presence of terrorists belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna al Hindustan.”

“During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location and, resultantly, four Indian-sponsored terrorists were sent to hell,” the statement said.

It added that weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists, who “remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities.”

The ISPR further stated that sanitisation operations were in progress “to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored terrorist found in the area,” adding that the “relentless counter-terrorism campaign under vision ‘Azm-e-Istehkam,’ as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan, will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.”
