One of the killed terrorists was identified as “Kharji Qasim”, an Afghan national, who was actively serving in the Afghan Border Police, it said.
In an intelligence-based operation in Tank district, an Indian-sponsored terrorist — identified as Kharji Ikramuddin alias Abu Dajana, who was also an Afghan national — was neutralised.
According to the ISPR, the incidents revealed continued involvement of Afghan nationals in numerous terrorist activities against innocent civilians and security forces inside Pakistan.
