ISPR further stated that a comprehensive clearance operation is underway in the area to root out any remaining terrorists. The authorities are committed to ensuring the safety and security of the region by eliminating the threat posed by these extremists.
It is distressing to note that North Waziristan has witnessed an increase in terrorist activities in recent times.
Just a few days ago, unidentified armed individuals targeted an anti-polio team, resulting in the death of a police officer and injury to another. The incident occurred in North Waziristan’s Spinwam Tehsil, where police officers tasked with safeguarding the anti-polio team came under gunfire.
Moreover, in a separate incident in May, two girls’ schools fell victim to a devastating attack by unidentified assailants who detonated explosives, causing significant damage to the educational institutions.
