North Waziristan Operations: Pakistan Army Eliminates 12 Terrorists in Intelligence-Based Operation
Pakistan security forces neutralized 12 foreign-backed terrorists during precision intelligence-based operations across Mir Ali, Datta Khel, and Ali Khel in North Waziristan, dismantling key militant hideouts while two brave soldiers embraced shahadat under Azm-e-Istehkam.
North Waziristan Operations: Security forces engaged multiple terrorist locations in Mir Ali, Datta Khel, and Ali Khel, neutralising 12 khwarij including foreign nationals.
Sacrifice of Soldiers: Two brave soldiers, Havildar Asmat Ali and Naik Aftab Ali, embraced shahadat after fighting gallantly during the fierce engagements.
Azm-e-Istehkam Vision: The ongoing counter-terrorism campaign continues at full pace under the National Action Plan to completely eradicate foreign-sponsored terrorism.
In continuation of series of intelligence based operations being conducted by Security Forces, multiple Khwarijs’ locations were engaged in general area Mir Ali, Datta Khel and surroundings in North Waziristan District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Following fierce fire exchanges, in last twelve hours, twelve khwarij, including two Afghan nationals belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Khwarij were sent to hell in Ali Khel, while two khwarij each were neutralised in Mir Ali and Datta Khel, thereby causing a significant blow to the khwarijs’ network operating in the area.
However, during these engagements, two brave sons of soil, Havildar Asmat Ali (age: 43 years, resident of District Swabi) and Naik Aftab Ali (age: 32 years, resident of District Mardan) who fought gallantly, rendered the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat.
Weapons and ammunition have also been recovered from killed Indian sponsored Khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities including killing of innocent civilians.
North Waziristan Operations
Sanitization operations will continue to eliminate remaining holed up khwarij from these areas, as relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign sponsored terrorism from the country and such sacrifices further strengthen our resolve.
Earlier this week Pakistan security forces eliminated dozens of Indian-sponsored terrorists during high intensity operation against terrorism.
In a stellar display of professional excellence, unmatched valor, and unwavering resolve, the valiant soldiers of the Pakistan Armed Forces have successfully executed a high-precision intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Muzak village, located on the southern fringes of Mir Ali in North Waziristan.
According to an official press release issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the successful neutralization of terrorist infrastructure belonging to the foreign-backed proxy Fitna Al Khwarij stands as yet another monumental testament to the Pakistan Army’s unyielding commitment to purging the homeland of the scourge of terrorism.

Detailing the tactical execution of the mission, the ISPR statement highlighted that the operation targeted deeply entrenched terrorist hideouts representing an immediate and severe threat to regional peace and civilian security.
During the intensive clearance and sanitization of the area, security forces successfully neutralized two major terrorist strongholds.
What makes this operation particularly harrowing—and highlights the depraved, anti-Islamic nature of these miscreants—is that the terrorists had deliberately established their command posts and weapon caches inside Masajid (mosques).

Alongside a massive inventory of ready-to-use Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), explosive preparation materials, heavy weapons, and ammunition, these sacred locations were actively being utilized as illegal torture cells to subjugate and terrorize local populations.

Utter Desecration of Sacred Spaces Condemned
The ISPR strongly condemned the blatant desecration of houses of worship by Fitna Al Khwarij, noting that it serves as incontrovertible proof of their absolute moral bankruptcy and total disregard for the fundamental, peaceful teachings of Islam.
Backed by hostile external entities—specifically Indian sponsorship—and abetted by elements of the Afghan Taliban, these Kharji terrorists have continuously demonstrated that they have nothing to do with Islam.
Their perverted interpretations and malicious exploitation of religious symbols are an affront to the faith and have been categorically rejected by the proud, resilient, and righteous people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Pakistan as a whole. The nation stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the Pakistan Armed Forces, viewing these foreign-funded proxies as enemies of both the state and religion.
Uncompromising Vision: Azm-e-Istehkam
The successful execution of the Muzak village operation underscores the operational readiness and intelligence-led precision of the Pakistan security apparatus. As brave soldiers continue their meticulous sanitization operations to sweep the surrounding terrain clean of any residual threats, the military’s message—as emphasized by the ISPR—remains loud and clear: no space will be ceded to enemies of the state.
This operation forms a vital pillar of the broader, relentless counter-terrorism campaign operating under the visionary framework of “Azm-e-Istehkam”. Approved by the Federal Apex Committee under the National Action Plan, Azm-e-Istehkam embodies the collective national will to comprehensively dismantle terrorist networks, choke their financial and logistical lifelines, and completely eradicate foreign-sponsored terrorism from Pakistani soil.
Concluding the briefing, the ISPR reaffirmed that the unmatched sacrifices of the Pakistan Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies continue to anchor the nation’s security. With the unwavering backing of a resilient populace, the security forces remain firmly committed to crushing every manifestation of terror, ensuring that peace, stability, and the writ of the state prevail across every inch of the country.
