Summary

Pakistani security forces killed seven militants identified as members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), also referred to as Fitna al-Khawarij, during an intelligence-based operation in the Eidak area of North Waziristan district on October 2, 2026. The operation destroyed several militant hideouts and restricted the militants' operational capacity in the region. Senior government officials including Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, President Asif Ali Zardari, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the security forces. Some reports characterized the militants as India-backed. The operation was part of Pakistan's ongoing counterterrorism campaign under the Azm-e-Istehkam vision. Separate operations on October 3 killed additional militants in other areas: five in South Waziristan and six in the Gorindar-Mashkel area of Balochistan, with weapons and ammunition recovered.
