The Pakistani army has conducted successful operations resulting in the elimination of 11 armed militants in their hideouts along the country’s border with Afghanistan. As reported by ABC News, quoting Pakistani army officials, these decisive actions occurred on Monday, April 22, in the north-western region of Pakistan.

The first operation, targeting 10 armed militants, took place in the Dera Ismail Khan area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to the ABC News report. It further highlights the interconnectedness between the TTP and the Afghan Taliban, emphasizing the TTP’s increased audacity following the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

This strategic military endeavor by the Pakistani army is particularly noteworthy considering recent security challenges, exemplified by the fatal attack on customs employees in Dera Ismail Khan just a day prior. While the report does not explicitly identify the armed militants, it is commonly understood that such operations often target TTP members.

The swift and decisive action undertaken by the Pakistani security forces underscores the nation’s unwavering commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring the safety and security of its citizens and borders.
