The latest actions form part of Pakistan’s continuing Azm-e-Istehkam counter-terrorism campaign. The Federal Apex Committee approved the initiative under the National Action Plan.
Security forces have also started sanitisation operations in the affected areas. These operations aim to locate and eliminate any remaining militants and clear potential threats.

The latest figures add to Pakistan’s continuing military campaign against militant groups operating in the country.
