Pakistan army says one soldier, eight militants killed in multiple engagements in northwest
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan army said on Monday one soldier had died while security forces killed eight Pakistani Taliban militants in multiple engagements in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. Three militants were killed in an encounter in the North Waziristan district that borders Afghanistan, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Pakistani military's media wing. Two militants and a Pakistani troop were killed in an intelligence-based operation in the neighboring South Waziristan district. Security forces gunned down another three militants in two engagements in Khyber and Bannu districts. 'Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities,' the ISPR said in a statement. 'Sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji [Pakistani Taliban militant] found in the area.' Pakistan has struggled to contain a surging militancy in KP in recent years, where the Pakistani Taliban, or the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), have mounted their attacks against security forces and police since their fragile, months-long truce with Islamabad broke down in late 2022. Islamabad has frequently accused Afghanistan of supporting the Pakistani Taliban and other militant groups, an allegation denied by Kabul. The latest operations follow the killing of five TTP militants and the arrest of two others in KP, while the military said late last month it had killed 71 militants while infiltrating Pakistan's border with Afghanistan in North Waziristan. The number was usually high in Pakistan's battle against militancy and instability along its border with Afghanistan during the nearly four years since the United States withdrew its military support from the country and the Taliban took over Kabul. The South Asian country is also facing an intensifying insurgency by armed separatist groups in its southwestern Balochistan province.
