A soldier was martyred, while seven terrorists were killed in two separate operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North Waziristan District, the military’s media wing said on Wednesday.

According to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intelligence-based operation (IBO) was conducted by the security forces in the Miran Shah area of the North Waziristan District upon the reported presence of terrorists.

“During the conduct of [the] operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij’s location, as a result of which four khwarij were sent to hell,” the statement said.

It added that another encounter between the security forces and terrorists took place in the Spinwam area of the district, as a result of which three more terrorists were neutralised.

“However, during the intense fire exchange, one brave son of the soil, Lance Naik Muhammad Amin (aged 34 years, resident of District Faisalabad), having fought gallantly, embraced Shahadat,” the statement said.

The ISPR further added that a sanitisation operation was being conducted in the said areas to “eliminate any other kharji”.

“Security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” the statement said.

In July, the government, through an official notification, designated the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as Fitna al Khawarij, while mandating all institutions to use the term khariji (outcast) when referring to the perpetrators of terrorist attacks on Pakistan.

The country has lately witnessed a sharp uptick in the number of attacks targeting security forces, other law enforcement agencies, and security checkpoints, particularly in Balochistan and KP.

In another encounter in the district’s Spinwam area, three more militants were neutralised in an exchange of fire.

However, during the operation, 34-year-old Lance Naik Muhammad Amin from Faisalabad embraced martyrdom.

KP CM seeks report as cop martyred, 2 polio workers injured in separate attacks​

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur on Monday, while strongly condemning casualties in attacks on polio workers in two separate incidents, sought reports from senior police officials and directed them to take action against the elements involved.

Pakistan is one of the last two countries in the world, alongside Afghanistan, where polio remains endemic, with the disease mostly affecting children under five, and sometimes causing lifelong paralysis.

Despite global efforts to eradicate the virus, challenges such as security issues, vaccine hesitancy, and misinformation have slowed progress.

The attacks took place a day after health workers launched a nationwide anti-polio campaign against the resurgent disease.

According to a press release issued by the CM office, the separate attacks took place in KP’s Karak and Bannu districts, in which a policeman embraced martyrdom while two polio workers were injured.

While the statement did not specify the details of casualties in each attack, state-run Radio Pakistan reported a cop was martyred and a polio worker was injured in Karak’s Tehsil Banda Daud Shah, where unknown gunmen opened fire at a vaccination team.

Two cops were martyred while another three were injured in the early hours of Tuesday when terrorists attacked a police checkpost in the Gunangar area of Shangla district’s Chakesar Tehsil in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, officials said.

After the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) broke a fragile ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022, the country witnessed a sharp uptick in the number of attacks targeting security forces and other law enforcement agencies, particularly in Balochistan and KP.

According to the interior ministry, in the past 10 months, 948 out of 1,566 terrorism incidents reported occurred in KP, resulting in 583 deaths (out of a total of 924 martyrdoms).

Umar Rehman, spokesperson for the Shangla district police officer (DPO), told Dawn.com that Mohammad Hassan, an assistant sub-inspector from Alpuri, and head constable Nisar Ahmad got martyred in the attack, while three constables were injured.

Rehman added that preliminary information suggested the checkpost was struck with heavy weapons, such as rocket launchers and hand grenades, due to which the walls of the checkpost’s small building collapsed, burying a constable beneath.

The injured police personnel were moved to the district headquarters hospital in Battagram by locals and officials of the Dandai police station, Rehman said.

The incident took place in Chakesar tehsil’s Gunangar, which is a remote area near the Karakoram Highway and the Indus River.

In Pakistan, political instability, dwindling public support and economic constraints are eroding the costly gains that the country made in combating militancy after about 150 people, mostly children, were killed in a school attack in 2014.

EDITORIAL: The outgoing year has been marked by a resurgence in terrorism, particularly by the banned TTP, with an upsurge in attacks resulting in high losses amongst security personnel belonging to both the military and police.

The Dec 20 attack in South Waziristan, in which at least 16 security personnel were martyred, is a painful reminder of this sombre reality. Yet the state has not been able to launch any long-lasting countermeasures against terrorists.

While kinetic actions are taken in the aftermath of such tragedies, militants manage to recoup their energies and resume their attacks on security men. This bloodstained cycle must be broken through decisive action against terrorist groups so that they are no longer in a position to harm civilians or security personnel.
