Joint Pakistani Security Forces Operation in Chitral District Yields Success Against Terrorists

In a recent announcement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the success of an intelligence-based operation near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Chitral District has been highlighted. The operation, carried out on the night of 7/8 November 2023, resulted in the elimination of two terrorists and the serious injury of four others.

However, amidst this success, disturbing intelligence has surfaced, revealing a potential link between the operation and cyber espionage activities. The ISPR disclosed that the social media account of Ayesha Siddiqa, a prominent commentator and analyst, was accessed and run by operatives affiliated with India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). Notably, these RAW operatives were reported to have previously served in Afghanistan.
