KARACHI: Pakistani security forces have killed four Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants in an operation in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province that border Afghanistan, the Pakistani military said late Thursday.
The operation was conducted in KP’s Lakki Marwat district on reports about militant presence, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military’s media wing.
Weapons and ammunition were seized from the deceased militants who remained actively involved in numerous militant activities in the area.
“Sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored kharja (militant) found in the area,” the ISPR said in a statement.
New Delhi did not immediately respond to the statement.
