Search operation is underway to trace and apprehend wounded terrorists


Taunsa Sharif: In a major counter-terrorism breakthrough, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Punjab successfully thwarted a devastating terror plot in Taunsa Sharif through an intelligence-based operation near the Tri-Border Village.
According to a CTD spokesperson, the operation was launched following credible intelligence reports about the presence of armed terrorists in the area. A fierce gun battle erupted between the terrorists and the security teams. The exchange of heavy fire continued for several hours.
As a result of the intense crossfire, five dangerous terrorists were eliminated, while five others sustained injuries and managed to escape into the nearby forest. The CTD teams acted swiftly and professionally, preventing what could have been a catastrophic attack.
The spokesperson confirmed that the operation was launched based on precise intelligence, aiming to apprehend the terrorists planning subversive activities in the region. However, the terrorists opened fire on the CTD team, leading to a retaliatory crossfire in which the five terrorists were neutralized.
During the combing operation, CTD recovered a cache of lethal weapons, including rifles, three IEDs, a large quantity of ammunition, hand grenades, and explosive material. These recoveries underscore the severity of the threat and the scale of the planned attack.
A search operation is currently underway to trace and apprehend the wounded terrorists who fled the scene. CTD teams have established checkpoints near Romani, Taunsa, to prevent further escape and to secure the region.
The identification process of the deceased terrorists is ongoing. Four bodies have been handed over to the hospital for necessary legal formalities, while one body was taken away by fleeing accomplices, according to the CTD Punjab spokesperson.
It is pertinent to mention that CTD has been continuously operating against the terrorists attacking police posts in the tri-border area of Dera Ghazi Khan.
