  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nPakistani security forces killed four militants during an intelligence-based operation in the northwestern district of Dera Ismail Khan on Sunday, the military said.\n\nIn a statement, the military’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations, said troops carried out the raid after receiving reports of the presence of militants in the area.\n\nThe statement described the militants as belonging to “Fitna al Khwarij,” a term the Pakistani military uses for armed groups it alleges are backed by India. India has previously denied supporting militant activity inside Pakistan.\n\nSecurity forces engaged the suspected hideout and, after what the military described as an intense exchange of fire, killed four militants.\n\nWeapons and ammunition were recovered from the site. The statement said the slain militants had been involved in multiple attacks in the region but did not provide further details.\n\nA clearance operation was underway to ensure no other militants remained in the area.\n\nThe military said operations would continue in coordination with law enforcement agencies under “Azm-e-Istehkam,” a national security initiative approved by Pakistan’s Federal Apex Committee as part of the National Action Plan aimed at combating militancy.\n",
