The ISPR said 42-year-old Subedar Umar Farooq from Bloody Karachi

Kashmir

...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
's (IIOJK) Pahalgam area, which claimed lives of 26 people.

New Delhi linked Islamabad to the attack without offering any evidence and took a flurry of punitive measures to downgrade ties, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, revoking visas of Paks, and closing Wagah-Attari border crossing, among others.

Islamabad, in response, ordered the expulsion of Indian diplomats and military advisers, cancelling visas for Indian nationals, with the exception of Sikh pilgrims, and closing the main border crossing from its side.

... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
on the reported presence of gunnies in these areas.

The ISPR said three terrorists, including Death Eater commander Jabbar Shah alias Shah Alam, were "sent to hell" following an intense exchange of fire during the operations while two others were maimed.

"The sanitisation of surrounding areas is being carried out to eliminate any other gunnies found in the area," the statement said, adding that the security forces of Pakistain were determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism.

Earlier this month, a "hardcore Death Eater" and founder of the banned Death Eater group Baloch National Army (BNA) was captured, according to the ISPR, who described the detainee as a "high-value target" with suspected links to hostile intelligence agencies operating against Pakistain.

Over the past few months, the law and order situation in the country has worsened, with terrorist groups executing attacks with near impunity across the country.

12 TTP terrorists killed in intelligence-based operation in KP’s Lakki Marwat: ISPR

...mindless ferocity in a turban...
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.

Over the past few months, the law and order situation in the country has worsened, with terrorist groups executing attacks with near impunity across the country.

Since the talks with the TTP broke down in November, the murderous Moslem group has intensified its attacks, particularly targeting the police in KP and areas bordering Afghanistan. Insurgents in Balochistan

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.
