Security forces have killed 24 terrorists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bannu district and its adjoining areas, the military’s media affairs wing said in a statement on Friday afternoon.
The statement by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that recently, there had been a “surge” in terrorist activities against police and suicide bombings in Bannu.
In these incidents, the statement said, “Indian proxy Fitna-al-Khawarij targeted law enforcement agencies and innocent civilians”.
