Pakistan Says Forces Killed Twenty-Two Militants in Border Operation
During the operation, officials said the militants responded with heavy and indiscriminate gunfire. "Due to cowardice and fear of getting apprehended alive, Khwarij (militants) resorted to indiscriminate firing which resulted in martyrdom of a ten years old innocent child," the military said.
Authorities also reported the seizure of weapons and ammunition from those killed, noting that the individuals had allegedly been involved in multiple attacks in the region.
According to statements, Pakistan has experienced a rise in militant activity in recent years, which it links to the Afghanistan-based Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
