North waziristan: Twenty-one more Khwarij associated with the Indian-sponsored group Fitna-al-Khwarij have been killed by security forces during intelligence-based operations in Miran Shah and its surrounding areas in North Waziristan.

According to Radio Pakistan, those killed included four Khwarij ring leaders identified as Khalid Raza alias Salar, Muftoon, Musa, and Imran alias Ayan. These leaders were highly wanted for their involvement in numerous terrorist activities, including the killings of security forces personnel and innocent civilians. In total, forty-eight Khwarij have been killed in these operations, which are described as skilful and precise.

Weapons and ammunition have also been recovered from the Indian-sponsored Khwarij. The ISPR stated that sanitization operations will continue in order to eliminate the remaining Khwarij from these areas.
