RAWALPINDI - In a decisive blow to Indian-sponsored terrorism, Pakistani security forces killed thirteen khwarij belonging to India's Fitna-al-Khwarij network during two separate foiled infiltration attempts along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on April 28-29, 2026.
The successful engagements demonstrate once again that India continues to sponsor and support terrorist groups operating from Afghan soil to destabilize Pakistan. Despite Pakistan's repeated warnings, the Afghan Taliban regime has failed to fulfill its obligations to prevent the use of Afghan territory for attacks against Pakistan.
In Mohmand District, security forces detected movement of a khwarij group attempting to infiltrate through the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Own troops effectively engaged this group with precision and skill.
As a result of the operation, eight khwarij belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Khwarij were sent to hell. The neutralized terrorists were attempting to cross into Pakistani territory to carry out attacks against civilian and military targets.
The successful interception in Mohmand highlights the vigilance and operational readiness of Pakistani security forces stationed along the porous western border.
In a separate engagement, security forces foiled another infiltration attempt by a khwarij group along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in North Waziristan District. After an intense exchange of fire, five khwarij were neutralized.
The terrorists were well-armed and had crossed from Afghan territory with the intent of conducting attacks inside Pakistan. Security forces responded with characteristic professionalism, eliminating the threat before any harm could be inflicted on Pakistani civilians or military personnel.
The latest incidents add to mounting evidence that India's intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), continues to sponsor and support khwarij terrorist networks operating from Afghan soil. The Fitna-al-Khwarij network has been directly linked to multiple terrorist attacks inside Pakistan, with Indian handlers providing funding, weapons, and operational guidance.
India's strategy of using Afghan territory to destabilize Pakistan has been repeatedly exposed. However, the international community has largely remained silent on New Delhi's state-sponsored terrorism against Pakistan.
These engagements once again substantiate Pakistan's repeated stance regarding the abject failure of the Afghan Taliban regime to ensure effective border management on their side.
Despite multiple bilateral agreements and understandings, the Afghan interim authorities have consistently failed to:
Prevent the use of Afghan soil for attacks against Pakistan
Control cross-border movement of khwarij terrorists
Take action against Indian-sponsored terrorist networks operating from Afghan territory
Pakistan has repeatedly demanded that the Afghan Taliban regime fulfill its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by khwarij terrorists. However, the regime in Kabul remains either unwilling or incapable of securing its side of the border.
The Security Forces of Pakistan remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation's frontiers. Sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored khwarij found in the area.
The relentless Counter-Terrorism campaign under the vision of "Azm-e-Istehkam" - as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan - continues at full pace. Security Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and -supported terrorism from the country.
The foiled infiltration attempts come at a time when India is facing mounting pressure on multiple fronts, including:
The demand from UAE to clear $7 billion in accumulated dues
Exposure of Indian vessels using false shipping documents in Iranian urea case
India's failed attempt to use Pakistani flags on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz
Growing diplomatic isolation due to India's alignment with the US-Israel axis against Iran
Analysts suggest that India, facing strategic setbacks, may be attempting to open new fronts against Pakistan through proxy terrorist networks in Afghanistan.
Pakistan once again calls upon the international community to take notice of India's state-sponsored terrorism. The evidence of RAW's involvement in sponsoring khwarij terrorist networks is overwhelming and undeniable.
The United Nations and other international bodies must hold India accountable for its support of terrorist groups operating against Pakistan. Selective outrage and silence in the face of Indian-sponsored terrorism only embolden New Delhi to continue its destabilization campaign.
Pakistan's security forces remain on high alert along the entire length of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Intelligence sharing and operational coordination have been enhanced to detect and neutralize any future infiltration attempts.
The message to Indian-backed khwarij terrorists is clear: any attempt to cross into Pakistani territory will be met with overwhelming force. As demonstrated in Mohmand and North Waziristan, those who seek to spill Pakistani blood will find themselves sent to hell.
Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism campaign under Azm-e-Istehkam will continue until every last terrorist - foreign-sponsored or otherwise - is eliminated from Pakistani soil.
