Overview
- Security agencies reported a string of intelligence‑based operations over the weekend that they say killed at least 11 militants in Datta Khel, North Waziristan, and 16 militants in Bannu’s Miryan area.
- Authorities identified two commanders killed in Bannu as Zamri Noor and Abdullah Saeed and said two police constables, Waheedullah Khan and Noorullah Khan, were martyred during the raid.
- Balochistan officials said a CTD operation on Quetta’s outskirts killed nine militants but gave conflicting counts of CTD fatalities, with reports saying four or five personnel were killed and several injured.
- Security statements said drones, advanced surveillance and bomb‑disposal teams were used, that weapons and ammunition were recovered, and that a 10‑kg IED was found and safely defused in the Bannu operation.
- The military framed the actions as part of Azm‑e‑Istehkam against so‑called Fitna al‑Khawarij, linked them to militants operating from across the Afghanistan border, and warned operations will continue as Islamabad presses for stronger cross‑border action.
