As a result of these coordinated encounters and subsequent clearance operations, 216 terrorists were killed, severely damaging the leadership, command and control structure, and operational capabilities of terrorist networks.

According to the Pakistan Army spokesperson, the operation inflicted heavy losses on the leadership, command and control, and operational capacity of terrorist networks. A large cache of foreign-manufactured weapons, ammunition, explosives, and other equipment was also recovered.
