Intelligence-Based Operations Target Terrorists
Security forces launched the first operation in the Mir Ali area following reports of militant presence. Security forces engaged the militants in a fierce exchange of fire, resulting in the deaths of six insurgents. ISPR reported that security forces recovered weapons and ammunition at the site.
Security forces conducted a second operation in Spinwam and neutralized one additional militant in a subsequent firefight.
