Pakistani security forces killed 30 militants affiliated with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan who tried to cross into Pakistan from Afghanistan. The operation occurred overnight in North Waziristan, resulting in the seizure of various weapons and munitions from the militants. The military accused these militants of receiving support from India and urged Afghanistan to prevent its territory from being used for attacks against Pakistan. Pakistani authorities have intensified these accusations amidst rising militant violence linked to the Pakistani Taliban, particularly since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan.
Pakistani security forces killed 30 militants who attempted to enter the country from Afghanistan, seizing weapons, ammunition, and explosives from the militants.
The military alleged the militants were backed by India and urged the Afghan government to prevent the use of its territory by "foreign proxies" to attack Pakistan.
Militant violence has surged in Pakistan in recent months, with much of it attributed to the Pakistani Taliban, which is allied with the Afghan Taliban.
Pakistan's President and Prime Minister praised security forces for the operation, following reports of 54 insurgents killed in April within the same district.
