Pakistan Security Forces Eliminate Terrorists in Barkhan District Operation

In a major blow to foreign-sponsored terrorism, Pakistan’s Security Forces successfully eliminated twenty-four (24) terrorists belonging to the Indian-proxy “Fitna Al Khwarij” during two separate high-intensity engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province on 4-5 February 2026.

Operation Details: Orakzai and Khyber Districts

The operations were launched based on verified intelligence regarding the presence of terrorists in the region:

  • Orakzai District: Security forces conducted a precision intelligence-based operation (IBO). Following an intense exchange of fire, troops effectively engaged the terrorist hideout, resulting in the elimination of fourteen (14) khwarij.
  • Khyber District: A second coordinated IBO was executed in the Khyber District. During the ensuing fire exchange, an additional ten (10) terrorists were neutralized by the responding units.

Azm-e-Istehkam: A Relentless Campaign

These operations are part of the broader, relentless counter-terrorism campaign under the “Azm-e-Istehkam” vision, which was recently approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan.

The Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) of Pakistan remain committed to the full-scale eradication of the menace of foreign-supported terrorism. Currently, sanitization operations are underway in the targeted areas to ensure the complete elimination of any remaining terrorists.

Commitment to National Security

The Government of Pakistan and its Security Forces reiterate that no effort will be spared in safeguarding the sovereignty of the state. The ongoing campaign aims to dismantle the infrastructure of proxies and sponsored elements seeking to destabilize the country, ensuring peace and stability for the people of Pakistan.
