The terrorists opened up heavy fires and fierce firefighting, resulting in three hardcore terrorists. These are three terrorists.
Officials said Kuttay, a resident of Sedo, joined the terrorist ranks in March 2023 and was involved in several terrorist incidents. He allegedly allegedly attacked two foreign tourists and their local drivers in a 2024 shooting incident.
Officials said they had recovered a large amount of weapons and ammunition from all the weapons and ammunition they had, including two AK-47 rifles, grenades and magazines. They insist that the informant’s identity will be kept confidential.
