Punjab CTD Kills 5 Terrorists, Thwarts Major Attack in Taunsa Sharif

The Punjab Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) announced that it had killed five terrorists and foiled a terror plot in Taunsa Sharif, marking a significant counter-terrorism success.

Recent terror attacks in Pakistan have prompted the CTD to conduct operations to prevent and investigate terrorism-related activities and gather intelligence.

According to a press release, the CTD carried out an intelligence-based operation near the Tri-Border Village following credible reports of armed terrorists in the area. The terrorists opened fire on the CTD team, resulting in a crossfire that led to the elimination of five terrorists, while five others escaped with injuries.

The operation recovered a cache of weapons, including rifles, explosive devices, ammunition, and grenades, underscoring the severity of the threat and the scale of the planned attack.

A search operation is ongoing to locate the escaped terrorists, with checkpoints established in the region to prevent further escape. The identification process of the deceased terrorists is also underway.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi commended the CTD's operation, noting that the terrorists were associated with Fitna al Hindustan, a designated terrorist organization in Balochistan.

In a separate operation in Bahawalpur, the CTD and police killed a terrorist linked to Fitna al Hindustan, preventing a potential tragedy. Raids are ongoing to track down the escaped terrorists and further investigation is in progress.
