The ISPR stated that the operation was conducted following intelligence reports, and an exchange of fire took place during the raid, resulting in the deaths of 11 militants.
A spokesperson for the Pakistan Army said that as part of ongoing intelligence-based operations, security forces targeted multiple militant hideouts in Datta Khel over the past 48 hours. The ISPR further stated that after intense fighting and heavy exchange of fire, 11 militants belonging to the Indian-backed group “Fitna al-Khawarij” were killed.
