Pakistan’s security forces successfully neutralized 11 terrorists in four separate counter-terrorism operations carried out between 26-27 March in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported.
In the first operation, an intelligence based raid in Mir Ali, North Waziristan killed five terrorists. In another operation in the same area in the same month further three more militants were eliminated. Yet another counter-terrorism operation in Miran Shah resulted in elimination of 2 terrorists. While, the last operation in Daraban, Dera Ismail Khan district, took life a single militant.
ISPR says that weapons and ammunition were recovered from the killed terrorists who had been involved in different acts of terrorism. Security forces under Damien lowest have launched clearing operations of the affected areas to eliminate any remaining threats and assure their determination to clear terrorism off from Pakistan. 
These successful operations occur against a backdrop of growing militancy in Pakistan, with a 42% rise in terrorist attacks over the previous month in January 2025, the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) reports. The most affected provinces are Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
Pakistan’s military has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting national security, and prospects of recovering ground lost already or not, to extremist labour force.
