In a disturbing yet telling incident in Bajaur’s Loi Mamund area, terrorists hiding under the false banner of ideology—the Khawarij—once again revealed their true nature: cowards with no regard for innocent life. Acting on verified intelligence, Pakistan’s security forces launched a decisive operation against more than twenty militants gathered near a residential structure. What followed was a desperate and barbaric reaction from the terrorists—indiscriminate gunfire that left five innocent children injured.
Such acts are not just war crimes—they are the final gasps of a fractured enemy. These militants, knowing they cannot face trained forces on the battlefield, are now targeting the most vulnerable—children and women. It is a classic hallmark of desperation. But Pakistan is not a state that yields to cowards. Security forces responded swiftly, cordoned off the area, and expanded the scope of their operation to ensure that no terrorist escapes justice.
In the past few days alone, over 85 Khawarij militants have been eliminated across various operations, a testament to the increasing momentum in Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts. But this victory comes at a cost. The injuries to innocent children remind us why this fight cannot be compromised or delayed. It is a battle for the soul of the nation—between those who build and those who destroy, between peace and chaos.
Pakistan’s security forces are not just fighting enemies with guns—they’re dismantling ideologies rooted in hate and deception. And they are doing it with unmatched professionalism, precision, and national support.
These incidents should awaken both domestic and global stakeholders. The Khawarij are not just Pakistan’s problem—they are a regional cancer. And the Pakistani state, led by its brave armed forces, is on a mission not just to contain them, but to annihilate them completely.
As this operation continues, the people of Pakistan remain resolute. The bond between civilians and soldiers has never been stronger. We are not afraid. We are not divided. We are one nation, under one flag, fighting to ensure that no child in Bajaur—or anywhere else in Pakistan—has to suffer again at the hands of these enemies of peace.
