Security forces launched an intelligence-based operation in the Kalothai area of Tehsil Wana, South Waziristan, targeting militants hiding in a residential building. According to early reports, four militants were killed during the action. The operation was backed by helicopter support, and an exchange of fire between remaining militants and security personnel is still ongoing, indicating that the situation remains tense.
In a separate but related operation, a major success was achieved as security forces killed a top Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader, Commander Shafir Ullah alias Haider. He served as the Deputy Governor for North Waziristan and was considered a high-value target. The mission was based on precise intelligence and marks a significant step forward in Pakistan’s ongoing counter-terrorism efforts.
These operations highlight the continued resolve of security forces to eliminate militant threats from the region and restore peace. The elimination of key leadership within TTP is expected to disrupt their activities and weaken their operational capacity in the tribal belt. Authorities have praised the successful actions and stressed that the fight against terrorism will continue until the region is fully stabilized.
