Security forces successfully neutralized four terrorists on Thursday in the Badaber area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Peshawar district. The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) released a statement, revealing that an intelligence-based operation (IBO) was executed in response to reported terrorist presence in the region.

The ISPR reported that troops engaged effectively with the militants, resulting in the elimination of a “high-value terrorist, Commander Samiullah alias Shenay.” The ISPR highlighted that these militants were highly sought after by law enforcement agencies. The operation also led to the recovery of weapons, ammunition, and explosives from the slain terrorists, who were actively involved in various extremist activities, including extortion and targeted killings in the area.

This operation follows a similar successful mission on Wednesday, where at least seven terrorists were killed in the Kiri Machan Khel area of Tank District. The ISPR noted that an intense exchange of fire occurred between the security forces and terrorists, resulting in the elimination of seven militants. The operation also led to the discovery and dismantling of terrorist hideouts.

Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the terrorists killed in the operation, and it was revealed that these individuals had been actively participating in various terror activities, including recent targeted killings of police personnel in Tank. The ISPR emphasized that these operations were crucial in addressing the ongoing threat posed by terrorists against both security forces and civilians.

The commitment of security forces to ensuring the safety and security of the region was underscored by these successful operations. The continuous efforts to dismantle terrorist networks and eradicate their presence contribute significantly to maintaining peace and stability in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
