At least four soldiers were martyred during the fire exchange between the security forces and Khwarij in the general area Karama in South Waziristan District on November 6, 2024, the military’s media wing said in a statement.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), five terrorists were killed due to effective engagement by security forces.
“Four brave sons of soil, Naib Subedar Taib Shah (age: 38 years, resident of District Tank), Lance Naik Gulab Zaman (age: 30 years, resident of District Karak), Lance Naik Muzammil Mehmood (age: 30 years, resident of District Karak) and Lance Naik Habibullah (age: 28 years, resident of District Orakzai), having fought gallantly, embraced Shahadat,” the statement read.
A sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji found in the area, it added.
Earlier on October 30, the security forces killed eight Khawarij in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bannu district while three army personnel including a major embraced martyrdom.
