Pakistan security forces killed over 20 terrorists during multiple engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) between September 3 and 5, the military’s media affairs wing said yesterday.

According to ISPR, the slain terrorists ‘’were sponsored by India and belonged to Fitna-al-Khawarij — a term the state uses for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)’’.

The ISPR statement also mentioned an engagement in KP’s North Waziristan on the night between August 31 and September 1.
