On Saturday, an Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) was conducted by the security forces in general area Dosalli, on reported presence of Khwarij.

During the conduct of operation, the troops effectively engaged the Khwarij location and resultantly, six Khwarij were killed while two Khwarij were apprehended.

Another IBO was conducted in general area Esham, North Waziristan District. After intense fire exchange, three Khwarij were neutralised by security forces, while two Khwarij got injured.

Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from killed khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces as well as target killing of innocent civilians.
