Terrorist Takedown: Security Forces Strike in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

In a significant development, security forces successfully neutralized three terrorists during an intelligence-based operation in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Friday.

The operation took place in the early hours in Datta Khel, a volatile area in North Waziristan district near Afghanistan. Official sources reported the elimination of three terrorists in the engagement.

Two other militants, who sustained injuries, evaded capture under the cover of darkness. Authorities have initiated a large-scale search operation across the region in a bid to apprehend the fugitives, as part of continued efforts to dismantle terrorist networks and foster long-term peace.
