The security forces killed 12 terrorists in multiple intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Tirah Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the military’s media affairs wing said on Friday.

According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), on August 28 and 29, the security forces engaged terrorists’ locations in the valley, where after an intense exchange of fire 12 terrorists were sent to hell.

“Security forces are conducting extensive IBOs in Tirah Valley of Khyber district on the reported presence of Khawarij. So far, 37 terrorists have been killed in these operations, while 14 terrorists have suffered serious injuries,” it added.
 

Heightened security concerns​

According to PIPS, terrorist attacks across the country surged to 59 in August, compared to July’s 38.

These incidents included 29 attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 28 in Balochistan and two in Punjab, killing 84 people and 166 others injured.

In the latest flare-up of violence, dozens of militants affiliated with the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) launched numerous attacks across Balochistan last week, killing at least 50, including 14 security men.

In response to the deadly attacks, the country’s leaders pledged their full support to the Balochistan government in combating terrorism. The military also sped up its counterterrorism operations in KP and Balochistan, which are the most hard-hit by militancy.
