At least 13 terrorists have been killed by Pakistani security forces along the Afghanistan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the military’s media wing said on Friday (May 1, 2026).

The terrorists, belonging to Fitna-al-Khwarij, were killed in Mohmand and North Waziristan districts on April 28 and 29, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

Pakistani security forces have killed at least 13 terrorists belonging to outlawed insurgent groups in different intelligence-based operations in the troubled Balochistan province, the ISPR said Saturday (December 27, 2025).

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military’s media wing, these terrorists were killed in two operations conducted on December 24 and 25 in the Kohlu and Kalat areas of the province. In two statements, the ISPR said the intelligence-based operations (IBOs) were conducted on the reported presence of terrorists in the respective areas.

In the IBO in Kohlu on Thursday (December 25, 2025), the ISPR said it killed five terrorists after a heavy exchange of fire with them.

In another operation on Wednesday (December 24, 2025), security forces effectively engaged the terrorists’ location and, after an intense exchange of fire, killed eight of them in Kalat.

“Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terror activities in the area,” the statement said.

Earlier this month, 12 terrorists were killed in Kalat by security forces.

The statement said security forces and law enforcement agencies are constantly conducting operations to eliminate terrorists under its “Azm-e-Istehkam” campaign.

Seven militants belonging to the banned terrorist outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan were killed during an intelligence-based operation in northwestern Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the army said on Sunday (September 21, 2025).

The operation was conducted on Saturday (September 20, 2025) in Dera Ismail Khan district bordering South Waziristan after the presence of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants was reported.

Among the seven eliminated by the security forces, three were Afghan nationals and two suicide bombers, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the army, said in a statement.

Pakistan expects the interim Afghan government, run by the Afghan Taliban, to uphold its responsibilities and deny the use of its soil to carry out acts of terror, the statement added.

Earlier, on September 13-14, at least 31 TTP militants were killed in two separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week had said that Afghanistan must choose between siding with terrorists or standing with Pakistan.

Pakistan has lately been witnessing a rise in terrorist activities, mainly in provinces bordering Afghanistan.
