Sharing details in a post on X, the minister said the action came in the aftermath of recent terrorist incidents in Pakistan, including the terrorist attack on a Federal Constabulary post in Musa Dara on June 9, 2026, and vehicle-borne suicide attacks on a military post in North Waziristan on June 2, 2026, and a police station in Bannu on May 9, 2026.
He said that, based on credible intelligence, selective targeting of camps and hideouts was carried out with precision and accuracy.
According to the minister, four targets were completely destroyed during the operation, including a training centre, a hideout, an ammunition cache and Marakiz belonging to Fitna Al Khwarij commander Aleem Khan Khushali and commander Akhtar Muhammad Jani Khel.
Tarar said Pakistan had always strived to maintain peace and stability in the region while emphasizing that the safety and security of its citizens remained the country’s top priority.
He reiterated that Pakistan’s relentless counter-terrorism campaign under the vision of “Azm-e-Istehkam”, as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, would continue at full pace.
The minister said the security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan would continue efforts to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.
