24 Terrorists Killed in Bannu Security Operation, Says ISPR

Pakistan's security forces killed 24 militants in a major security operation in Bannu over the past 24 hours, announced the military's media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The operation was launched in response to recent attacks, including a vehicle-borne suicide bombing and assaults on police, attributed to Fitna al-Khwarij, a group Islamabad claims is an India-backed proxy network. This action is part of the broader 'Azm-e-Istehkam' counter-terrorism campaign aimed at eliminating foreign-sponsored terrorism, with ongoing operations expected to continue against militant activity in the region.
