In the first operation in Dera Ismail Khan district, troops acted on intelligence reports about the presence of militants. Security personnel moved in, cordoned off the area, and engaged the suspects in an exchange of fire. Two militants were killed in the encounter. In a second operation in Mohmand district, another group of militants was targeted following intelligence inputs. Security forces engaged them in a brief firefight, resulting in the deaths of two more individuals. Weapons and ammunition were recovered from both sites.
