THE OPERATION WAS LAUNCHED FOLLOWING CREDIBLE INTELLIGENCE REGARDING THE PRESENCE OF THE MILITANTS. DURING THE ENGAGEMENT, SECURITY FORCES EFFECTIVELY TARGETED THE HIDEOUT, AND AFTER AN INTENSE EXCHANGE OF FIRE, ALL 12 TERRORISTS WERE ELIMINATED.
A cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was recovered from the site. According to ISPR, the militants had been involved in multiple terrorist activities in the region, threatening security and stability.
Following the operation, sanitization efforts are underway to ensure the area is fully cleared and to track down any remaining elements linked to the network.

The campaign aims to eliminate all forms of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.
