The Pakistani military reported the killing of 54 militants attempting to infiltrate from Afghanistan, marking a significant blow against the Pakistani Taliban, referred to as 'Khwarij.' The military attributed this infiltration attempt to intimidation by foreign entities aiming to instigate terrorist attacks in Pakistan. This incident comes amid rising violence linked to Taliban factions and tensions between India and Pakistan. Officials claim these accusations from India aim to detract attention from Pakistan's military efforts against border threats from the west.
The military stated that intelligence indicated the slain militants were 'Khwarij,' a term used for the Pakistani Taliban, sent by their 'foreign masters' for high-profile attacks.
Pakistan has seen a rise in violence attributed to the TTP, especially after the Afghan Taliban took control, allowing many TTP members to find sanctuary in Afghanistan.
