Pakistani security forces successfully eliminated five Khwarij militants, including two high-value targets, and captured two others during a series of intelligence-based operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to an official statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday.
The coordinated operations were conducted on April 30 and May 1, 2025, across Bajaur, North Waziristan, and Mohmand districts. In Bajaur, three militants were killed, including senior figure Kharji Fareed Ullah, following a fierce gunfight triggered by credible intelligence inputs. A separate operation in Dossali, North Waziristan, resulted in the elimination of two more militants after heavy resistance.
