RAWALPINDI: Indian-backed terrorists attacked Cadet College Wana in South Waziristan on Monday, with security forces killing two assailants and trapping three others inside, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Monday.
In a statement, the army’s media wing noted that Khawarij, who belongs to an Indian proxy, Fina al-Khawarij, had launched a “heinous and cowardly act of terrorism” and had attempted to breach frame security.
However, their nefarious designs were quickly thwarted by a “vigilant and determined response” by their troops and in their “desperation”, the attackers detonated an explosives-laden vehicle at the main gate, resulting in its collapse and damage to adjacent infrastructure”.
Demonstrating unflinching courage and professional excellence, the security personnel engaged the intruders with precision, eliminating the two terrorists.
However, the army’s media wing said that three terrorists managed to enter the college premises who are roaming around the administrative block of the college.
ISPR said that Khaurej has once again tried to repeat the brutal act of terrorism committed by him in 2014 at Army Public School, Peshawar.
It aims to instill fear among the young generation of ex-tribal areas who are getting quality education at their doorstep to excel in life and have a better future not only for themselves and their families but also for their communities.
It added that the terrorists hiding in the college premises are in touch with their masters and handlers in Afghanistan and are receiving instructions.
The army said, “This blatant act of chauvinism by Khuraj from Afghanistan is contrary to the claims made by the Afghan Taliban government of the absence of these terrorist groups on their soil.
Security forces are conducting a clearance operation to eliminate the remaining Indian believed terrorists.
“We will continue a relentless campaign against terrorism under the vision ‘Izm-e-Istmikam’ approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan.
Increasing incidents of terrorism
Since the Afghan Taliban government assumed power in 2021, Pakistan has been witnessing an increase in incidents of terrorism, particularly in KP and Balochistan.
Since then, terrorists have launched hundreds of cross-border terrorist attacks in Pakistan, leading to the martyrdom of soldiers and countless civilians, including women and children.
During the first eight months of 2025, KP alone recorded more than 600 terrorist incidents, resulting in the martyrdom of at least 138 civilians and 79 police personnel.
Pakistan has long urged the Afghan Taliban government to prevent its territory from being used to launch attacks inside Pakistan.
Cross-border terrorism also led to tense border skirmishes between the two neighboring countries’ forces in October.
Pakistan attacked several Taliban posts along the border on October 12, when they resorted to unprovoked firing, with the help of their affiliated militants.
Pakistan’s retaliatory actions resulted in the killing of more than 200 Afghan Taliban and affiliated militants.
Around 23 Pakistani soldiers also accepted martyrdom during the clashes.
Security forces also destroyed several terrorist strongholds in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province and Kabul in “health-related strikes”.
The two countries have halted hostilities following a ceasefire agreement requested by the Afghan Taliban government.
