A three-day joint police operation against Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants in Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has concluded successfully, local authorities announced on Tuesday. The operation targeted a long-established TTP base camp in the challenging mountainous terrain of Koh-e-Maidan.

The successful operation involved coordinated efforts between police forces from Kurram, Lakki Marwat, and Mianwali, utilizing modern communication systems across the three districts.

Following the operation’s conclusion, police returned safely, and celebrations, including traditional Khattak dances, were held to mark the clearing of the area.
