Security forces killed two terrorists during an operation in northwest Pakistan on Saturday, officials said.
According to the officials, the operation was based on the reports about the presence of terrorists in the Akakhel, Madakhel, and Parakhel areas of Bara tehsil in Khyber district of the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. A search operation to eliminate any remaining terrorists present in the area is underway, they said.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region in northwest Pakistan has faced recurring unrest over the years, driven by militant violence, cross-border movement of fighters from Afghanistan and repeated military operations.
The government accuses the banned terror outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan of carrying out terror attacks in provinces bordering Afghanistan after its ceasefire deal ended in November 2022.
