Story summary
On Wednesday, state media reported that security forces killed 13 terrorists labeled as Fitna al-Khawarij in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in North Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The term Fitna al Khawarij is used by the state to describe members of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan militant group. This incident followed another IBO a day earlier where 5 terrorists were killed. These operations are part of the broader Azm-e-Istehkam vision aimed at combating militant groups in the region. The area has been experiencing an uptick in terrorist attacks, with 54 recorded in August compared to 36 in July, marking a 50% increase according to data from the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS).

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
