The ISPR stated that the terrorists who were slain ‘remain actively engaged in terrorist activities against security forces and target killing of police in South Waziristan district.’
The reports claim that, the outlawed organisation Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Pakistan has increased its militant operations recently after breaking the truce in November of last year.
As a result of Islamabad’s accusations that the Taliban were allowing their territory to be used to harbour terrorism against Pakistan, ties between Pakistan and the Taliban-ruled Afghanistan are similarly tense.
The Dawn reporter that, the ISPR claimed that the militants had continued to be ‘actively involved in terrorist actions against security personnel and death of innocent persons.’
