DEVELOPING: Pakistan security forces killed several TTP Afghan terrorists near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border who were planning a destructive suicide operation, striking them with mortar fire on February 25, 2026, between 8:16 PM and 8:46 PM UTC, as reported by @ZardSi on X. Video recorded on the terrorists' own phones captured the mortar strikes, according to the source. The terrorists were targeted after intelligence indicated their intent to conduct a suicide attack, with all killed in the operation near the border, the post states. This follows the earlier ambush in Khar tehsil of Bajaur district where four police officers were killed and two injured during a patrol, as confirmed by police updates in prior reports. No additional details on the exact location along the border or the number of terrorists were provided in the new report. The incident occurs amid heightened security concerns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during Ramazan, building on the Bajaur patrol attack reported earlier today.
