South Waziristan: Security forces have killed five Khwarij in the Karama area of South Waziristan District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

According to Radio Pakistan, an exchange of fire took place between the security forces and Khwarij yesterday. Resultantly, five Khwarij were killed due to effective engagement by own troops.

However, four brave sons of the soil embraced martyrdom during the intense fire exchange. The martyrs include Naib Subedar Taib Shah from District Tank, Lance Naik Gulab Zaman and Lance Naik Muzammil Mehmood from District Karak, and Lance Naik Habibullah from District Orakzai.

A sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Khwarij found in the area. Security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism, and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.
