RAWALPINDI(National Times)- Security forces killed eight Indian-sponsored terrorists as an infiltration attempt was foiled along Pak-Afghan border in North Waziristan district.

“On 1 April 2026, movement of a group of khwarij along Pakistan-#Afghanistan border in North Waziristan District was picked up by the security forces,” read ISPR statement.

It said the security forces effectively engaged this group of terrorists and all were killed in a “precise and skillful engagement”. Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from Indian sponsored killed khwarij.

The engagement once again substantiated our repeated stance regarding abject failure of Afghan Taliban regime to ensure effective border management on their side of the border.

Afghan Taliban regime must fulfill its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists and involvement of its citizens in terrorism inside Pakistan, the military’s media wing said.

The security forces of Pakistan remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation’s frontiers.

“Sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored Kharji found in the area as relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision ‘Azm e Istehkam’ (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,” read the statement.
