According to the military’s media wing, the comprehensive area sanitisation operation began on November 3 as part of the ongoing counterterrorism campaign against groups described by the military as Fitna Al Khawarij and Fitna Al Hindustan.
The ISPR said security forces targeted multiple militant hideouts during successive engagements, killing 31 militants it described as Indian-sponsored.
Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the targeted locations, the statement added.
The military said counterterrorism operations would continue under the Azm-e-Istehkam initiative, approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan.
Security forces and law enforcement agencies remain committed to eliminating what the ISPR described as foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism across the country.
