According to police sources, the operation was launched after intelligence reports indicated the presence of militants in the remote hilly terrain along the interprovincial boundary. A joint team comprising police and intelligence agencies carried out the mission with the support of local residents.
Maulvi Nazir, believed to be a senior field commander, was neutralized during the operation. Authorities credit local cooperation as a crucial element in the success of the mission.
Security forces have intensified operations in the region in recent months, aiming to dismantle terrorist networks and prevent cross-border militant movement.
Further investigations are underway, and a search operation continues to clear the area of any remaining threats.
