Pakistain (TTP) during an intelligence-based operation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Lakki Marwat area, the military’s media wing said on Wednesday.

According to a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces and the forces of Evil exchanged fire late Tuesday night during which the holy warriors were killed.

"Terrorists’ movement and activities were being watched by intelligence tentacles for the last one week. Terrorists were lured in by providing a vehicle for escape that was intercepted and neutralised," the ISPR said.

Weapons, ammunition and Afghan currency were also recovered from the forces of Evil during the operation, it stated, adding that security forces were carrying out a clearance operation in the area.

"Locals appreciated the operation and lauded the efforts of Pakistain Army in eliminating terrorism," the statement concluded.

According to statistics released by the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), January 2023 remained one of the deadliest months since July 2018, as 134 people bit the dust — a 139 per cent spike — and 254 received injuries in at least 44 murderous Moslem attacks across the country.

Most recently, more than 80 people — mostly cops — bit the dust during a suicide kaboom at a mosque in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar

’s Police Lines. The TTP had earlier grabbed credit for the attack. It later distanced itself from it but sources earlier indicated that it might have been the handiwork of some local faction of the banned group.
