Kabul:  A top terrorist commander of outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) named Badshah Khan Mehsud was killed in a landmine blast in Paktika province of Afghanistan.

Details indicate that the incident occurred in the Paktika area of Afghanistan, where the most wanted TTP commander Badshah Khan was killed by a landmine explosion.

According to sources, the terrorist who was slain was a member of the "most-wanted list" and had engaged in terrorist attacks against Pakistani security personnel.

He was known as Noor Wali Mehsud, the leader of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), as being a close ally. When his car struck a landmine in Afghanistan's Paktika Province's Azbargai area, he and another person were injured.

He was also close to Commander Sajna, a former TTP deputy head who perished in a US drone strike in February 2018.
