The security forces neutralized two terrorists and captured one from Swat’s Charbagh area on Friday. According to a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was intelligence-based.
During the operation, an intense exchange of gunfire led to the elimination of two militants.

These operations, launched in response to terror threats, were carried out in key locations including Lahore, Khushab, Gujranwala, Pakpattan, Bahawalnagar, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sheikhupura, Mandi Bahauddin, and Mianwali.
Officials revealed that three terrorists were apprehended in Lahore, Faisalabad, and Rawalpindi.
The arrests led to the recovery of weapons, ammunition, and banned extremist literature. The suspects had plans to incite fear and carry out attacks in densely populated areas.
