   Security forces report killing 21 militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa operations

   Most outlets reported that Pakistani security forces killed 21 militants in multiple operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, citing the ISPR. Several emphasized that the militants were affiliated with the India-backed "Fitna al-Khawarij" group, while others used more general terms like "militants" or "terrorists." A few outlets, such as Dunya News and 24 News HD, noted the timing of the clashes (September 3–5) and, in the case of Dunya News, mentioned the Afghan Taliban’s failure in border management. The framing of the group’s affiliation with India was consistent across several English and Urdu outlets, but not all excerpts explicitly included this detail.
