Pakistan Army has foiled movements of two large groups of khwarij, opposite general area Ghaki, Kurram District and Spinwam, North Waziristan District who were trying to infiltrate through Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Sunday. According to ISPR press release, on 24-25 October 2025, movements of two large groups of khwarij, opposite general area Ghaki, Kurram District and Spinwam, North Waziristan District who were trying to infiltrate through Pakistan-Afghanistan border, were picked up by the security forces. 

Pak troops effectively engaged these groups of khwarij. As a result of precise and skillful engagements, fifteen khwarij including four Suicide Bombers belonging to Indian proxy, Fitna al Khwarij were sent to hell in Spinwam, North Waziristan District. Whereas, another ten infiltrating khwarij were killed in Ghaki, Kurram District. Large number of weapons, ammunition & explosives were also recovered from the killed infiltrating Khwarij.

However, during the intense fire exchanges, five brave sons of soil, Havildar Manzoor Hussain (age: 35 years, resident of District Ghizar), Sepoy Nauman Ilyas Kiyani (age: 23 years, resident of District Poonch), Sepoy Muhammad Adil (age: 24 years, resident of District Kasur), Sepoy Shah Jehan (age: 25 years, resident of District Vehari) and Sepoy Ali Asghar (age: 25 years, resident of District Pak Pattan), having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat. 

It is significant to point out that these infiltration attempts by Fitna al Khwarij are being carried out at a time when delegations of Pakistan and Afghanistan are engaged in talks in Türkiye; casting doubts on intentions of Interim Afghan Government with regards to addressing the issue of terrorism emanating from its soil. Pakistan has consistently been asking Interim Afghan Government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border and is expected to fulfil its obligations of Doha Agreement and deny the use of Afghan soil by Khwarij against Pakistan. The Security Forces of Pakistan remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation’s frontiers and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.

Sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored Kharji found in the area as relentless Counter Terrorism campaign under vision “Azm e Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.    

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have lauded Pakistan Army for foiling infiltration bid of Indian sponsored terrorists on Pak-Afghan border at various location on Sunday. 

In their separate messages, President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also paid tribute to five martyred soldiers who laid their lives for safeguarding the boundaries of the homeland. 

The president and prime minister, in separately issued statements, expressed deep grief over the martyrdom of army personnel including Havildar Manzoor Hussain, Sepoy Nauman Ilyas Kiyani, Sepoy Muhammad Adil, Sepoy Shah Jehan and Sepoy Ali Asghar who having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat.

They prayed to Allah Almighty for the elevation of the martyrs’ ranks in paradise and expressed condolences to the bereaved families.

President Zardari said that the terrorists were the enemies of the country’s peace and stability, and their cowardly actions were intolerable. Paying tribute to martyred personnel, he said that the nation was proud of the sacrifices of its brave soldiers. 

“I salute the resolve and courage of the police in the war against terrorism,” the president remarked. Prime Minister Shehbaz said that the security forces had always played a frontline role in the war against terrorism. “We are determined to completely eradicate terrorism from the country,” he resolved. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi also lauded security forces for neutralizing 25 Indian backed terrorists in KP. In his message, Naqvi said the nefarious design of the enemies will never succeed as Pakistan Army remained committed to safeguard the country’s boundaries.
