Security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Central Kurram district killed five Taliban affiliates in Tawda Pul area around 9 PM Pakistan Standard Time. The operation was based on precise intelligence, targeting the group’s movements.

The vehicle used by the Taliban affiliates was destroyed during the raid. Officials stated that the operation aimed to disrupt militant networks and prevent further attacks in the region. No civilians were reported harmed during the operation.


Security Forces Execute Successful Operation Against Taliban

The operation was planned after extensive intelligence gathering on Taliban movements in Central Kurram. Officials confirmed that the targeted vehicle was carrying key members of the local Taliban network.

According to local security sources, the five militants killed had previously been involved in cross-border attacks and other insurgent activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The operation is being described as a major success for counter-terrorism efforts in the province.

The authorities emphasized that operations of this nature demonstrate their commitment to ensuring regional security. Destroying the vehicle not only neutralized the threat but also eliminated the militants’ resources.
