According to the military’s media wing, the operations were conducted over the past 48 hours and expanded to the areas of Mir Ali and Orakzai as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist networks and eliminate security threats.

During intense exchanges of fire, security personnel successfully neutralised 35 terrorists in Mir Ali, while another eight were killed in Orakzai, dealing a significant blow to terrorist networks operating in the region.

ISPR further stated that a substantial cache of weapons, ammunition and explosives was recovered during sanitisation operations. The recovered material included homemade explosives and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which were intended to be used in terrorist activities.

Security Forces are continuing sanitisation operations to eliminate any remaining terrorists hiding in the affected areas.
